Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) website in the U.K. fell victim to a redirect attack in which the cybercriminals used an open redirect to send visitors to fake OnlyFans pages.

Threat actors exploited an open redirect that appeared to be a valid UK government URL but instead routed visitors to the bogus OnlyFans dating site.

The website widely used services that offer users access to adult content for a subscription so they could steal users’ personal information.
