Watch Out for Email Impersonation and Domain Lookalikes
At Seubert, your security is our top priority. As part of our ongoing commitment to helping clients stay informed and protected, we want to raise awareness about a growing cyber threat: email impersonation using lookalike domains.
🚨 What Is a Lookalike Domain?
Cybercriminals often attempt to impersonate trusted organizations by registering domains that look almost identical to legitimate ones. These “lookalike” domains may differ by a single character, use alternate spellings, or add extra words.
For example:
✅ Legitimate: @seubert.com
❌ Suspicious: @seubertgroup.com, @suebert.com, @seubert.co
These domains are often used in phishing campaigns, attempting to trick recipients into clicking malicious links, opening attachments, or providing sensitive information.
🔒 How to Protect Yourself
Here are a few quick tips to stay safe:
- Double-check the sender’s email address — not just the display name.
- Be cautious with unexpected links or attachments, especially those creating urgency.
- Never respond to requests for passwords, payment details, or wire transfers without verifying through known channels.
- Report any suspicious messages to your internal IT team or contact us for assistance.
🧠 A Seubert Reminder:
