Website defacement attacks are a critical cybersecurity threat, targeting organizations and governments with web-based services. These attacks exploit server vulnerabilities to alter content, leading to devastating financial losses, data breaches, and significant political impacts. Often going unnoticed for hours, defacement allows altered content to be seen by millions.

Website spoofing creates a website that mimics a trusted brand and domain.  This deceives a brand's customers, partners, or employees into visiting a fraudulent website and sharing sensitive information. Website spoofing is often used with email spoofing, where scammers send emails to lure you to update your password or click a malicious link.
