Cybersecurity experts at CloudSEK uncovered a concerning trend where hackers exploit Zendesk to conduct brand impersonation fraud known as “pig butchering” scams. By creating fake subdomains resembling reputable companies, cybercriminals send phishing emails disguised as legitimate customer support messages. Due to Zendesk’s lax email validation process for subdomains, these deceptive emails successfully evade spam filters and lead unsuspecting victims to fraudulent investment schemes or fake support pages. CloudSEK has alerted Zendesk about this vulnerability, urging for enhanced security measures to prevent further exploitation.
