GhostVendors Exposed Silent Push Uncovers Massive Network of 4000+ Fraudulent Domains Masquerading as Major Brands

Key Findings
Silent Push Threat Analysts have uncovered a massive “fake marketplace” scam campaign we have dubbed “GhostVendors” involving online ads that impersonate dozens of major brands and spoof actual products on thousands of fraudulent websites.

We found over 4,000 domains that are part of this fake marketplace network. This is a significant threat targeting social networks, major brands, advertising companies, and consumers worldwide.
