What happened
Researchers reported more than 200 bank-themed phishing sites that serve phishing content only to first-time visitors and show a fake 'suspended' page to repeat visits, likely to evade takedown crawlers and analysts. The article does not name specific CVEs, affected banks or versions. Defenders should consider cloaking-aware detection, such as scanning from fresh sessions and varied user agents, and should verify phishing reports with clean browsers.
