A new phishing technique called Chameleon SEO Poisoning has been identified, which manipulates search engine results to display fake banking websites. This method allows attackers to evade security scanners while targeting bank customers searching for legitimate login pages. Fortra's threat intelligence unit, FIRE, reported a 40% increase in such phishing cases during Q2 2026. Users searching for terms like 'Bank Name Customer Portal' are redirected to these fraudulent sites, which can lead to credential theft. The campaign has been confirmed by multiple cybersecurity outlets, indicating a significant rise in its prevalence. As of August 2026, this technique poses a serious risk to bank customers and financial institutions alike.
