Research exposes large-scale investment fraud via the internet
Briefly

Cybercriminal networks Reckless Rabbit and Ruthless Rabbit are capitalizing on investment fraud through the use of advanced technology such as Registered Domain Generation Algorithms (RDGA). Infoblox research has found that in 2024, U.S. consumers lost $5.7 billion due to these scams. The Reckless Rabbit network particularly targets victims through false Facebook ads and celebrity endorsements, while Ruthless Rabbit employs cloaking techniques and mimics local brands to target specific demographics, mainly in Eastern Europe. These tactics enhance their credibility and shield their operations from detection, significantly complicating countermeasures from cybersecurity.
Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting sophisticated methods to orchestrate investment fraud, with billions lost in the process, highlighting the seriousness of this issue.
Research reveals Reckless Rabbit and Ruthless Rabbit networks utilize Registered Domain Generation Algorithms, enabling rapid domain registrations that pose challenges for cybersecurity systems.
By leveraging localized tactics and deceptive techniques, these networks increase their chances of effectively defrauding individuals seeking financial stability.
Cloaking services and dynamic URLs are used by criminals to filter out unwanted traffic, making it harder for legitimate security measures to detect and counteract these scams.
