"We Analyzed the Entire Web and Found a Cybersecurity Threat Lurking in Plain Sight"
Researchers have found that clickable website links often lead to malicious destinations. Millions of "hijackable hyperlinks" have been found across the web, including on trusted websites. At the 2024 Web Conference, their paper showed that web cybersecurity threats can be exploited much more widely than previously thought. They found hijackable hyperlinks on websites belonging to large organizations, religious organizations, financial companies, and governments. These websites' hyperlinks can be hijacked without warning. This article continues to discuss the study "Hyperlink Hijacking: Exploiting Erroneous URL Links to Phantom Domains."
