The hijacking of YouTube accounts to promote bogus cryptocurrency schemes is nothing new. At Netcraft, we’ve previously blogged about the scale of cryptocurrency scams, and we saw attacks on at least 2,000 distinct IP addresses every month in the past year. Cryptocurrency-themed attacks remain popular with cybercriminals, but yesterday we had the opportunity to observe the recent high-profile attack on LinusTechTips as it unfolded.
This blog post explains what we saw, and how we protected our users from the scam sites hours before the compromised channels were taken down. All times in this post are GMT.

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), once the go-to financial institution for early-stage technology businesses and startups, is being exploited by cybercriminals. In this blog post, we discuss some of the tactics and techniques Netcraft has already detected criminals using to exploit SVB’s collapse – either directly or indirectly – as a lure.
As the flurry of COVID-themed attacks proved, cybercriminals waste no time in exploiting the attention such stories generate. Criminals often exploit current news stories, or specific times of year (like tax reporting) to make their scam seem more relevant to victims. They’ll also use the fear of missing out, hoping to trick victims into responding quickly.
New SVB-themed websites abound – criminal and otherwise
Since news of SVB’s collapse was announced, Netcraft has detected and blocked several SVB-related attacks in our malicious site feeds:

The pressure to update applications due to ever-faster successive updates tempts many a user to become careless and quickly click on an “Update” button. Often this works well, but sometimes unfortunately not. One wrong click – and the website is down or e-mails are lost forever. Therefore it is advisable to always have an up-to-date backup. But who thinks about regular backups? Fortunately, Plesk makes it easy, because every Plesk comes with a built-in backup manager that allows you to create backups manually or automatically on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Once set up, for example, weekly full…
