[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]FINRA recently issued Regulatory Notice 20-35 in which they warn of a clever fraudulent phishing campaign targeting registrants to complete a survey. The emails were sent from the typo-squatted domain (i.e., a fake domain intended to look very similar to a real domain – usually to perform a fraudulent activity) “regulation-finra.org” intending to appear that it came from FINRA. While this e-mail domain address is now known, we expect similar campaigns to be attempted from similarly fraudulent “typo-squatted” domains that could also be expected to mimic other regulatory or oversight organization.
