Key Findings

• Phishing ads aimed at stealing password vault credentials are the latest tactic used to target password managers.

• Threat actors’ level of sophistication with creating phishing pages continues to evolve.
• The identified phishing pages targeting the password managers have since been removed; however, this does not abate the threat of this type of activity.
