The volume of fake sites shows why protection cannot rely solely on each person recognizing a scam.
Specialized companies use automated systems to locate newly registered domains, copied images, minimal changes to trade names and campaigns that suddenly appear on social media.
Speed is essential.
A fraudulent site does not need to stay online for months to turn a profit. It can be promoted through ads for a few hours, collect payments and disappear before many users realize what happened.
That is why companies try to identify these campaigns from the moment the domain appears, or even before it starts receiving significant traffic.
Israel has a particularly well-developed cybersecurity ecosystem, fueled for years by military experience, universities, private capital and a large number of startups.
Aurora recently reported on international investments in Israeli companies dedicated to tackling increasingly automated digital threats. The growth of this sector has a simple explanation: as computing tools improve, so do the resources available to those who want to use them maliciously.
For ordinary users, a few simple precautions remain essential: check the site's real address, be wary of extraordinary discounts and avoid entering financial information after arriving through suspicious links.
But BrandShield's data shows that the problem now goes far beyond individual responsibility.
With more than a million attempts detected, digital fraud operates as a global industry that forces companies, banks, platforms and security specialists to chase thousands of new imitations every day.
