Beware of Fake Websites Mimicking Microsoft and Marriott
Cybercriminals are creating fake websites that look like Microsoft and Marriott by replacing the letter ‘m’ with ‘rn’ (r+n) in the web addresses. This trick makes the fake sites appear almost identical to the real ones, leading people to unknowingly enter their personal information.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses Microsoft services or books with Marriott hotels.
What to watch for
Be cautious of emails or messages with links that have unusual spellings in the web address, especially where ‘m’ is replaced with ‘rn’.
What to do
Always type the website address directly into your browser instead of clicking on links from emails or messages.
