CloudSEK’s latest investigation exposes a rapidly evolving fraud ecosystem targeting Canadians through highly convincing impersonation of government services and trusted national brands. From fake traffic fines and tax refunds to airline bookings and parcel delivery alerts, attackers are scaling operations using shared infrastructure and phishing-as-a-service models. The report reveals how urgency and institutional trust are weaponized—and what organizations must do to stay ahead.

Ahead of India’s 79th Independence Day (August 2025), hacktivist groups and cybercriminals launched coordinated attacks targeting government, finance, and defense sectors. Fueled by the Pahalgam terror attack, threat actors from Pakistan, China, and others executed over 4,000 incidents, including phishing, fake websites, data breaches, and scams. APT groups like APT36 and SideCopy deployed credential theft campaigns. Citizens are urged to stay alert and report suspicious activity.
