Microsoft has recently seized a domain used by the STORM-1152 Vietnamese group for selling fake accounts and bypass services. This action was taken to crack down on illicit online activities and protect users from scams.
The domain was reportedly used for fraudulent activities involving the sale of fake accounts and services that allowed users to bypass security measures. Microsoft’s efforts to take down such domains are part of a larger initiative to combat cybercrime and safeguard internet users.
One of the tools commonly used to prevent automated access to websites is Captcha, a test designed to distinguish between human users and bots. Developed by the University of Carnegie Mellon, Captcha presents users with a problem that is easy for humans to solve but difficult for computers to tackle.
