Be Wary of Fake Pages and Phishing

Malicious actors often create fake pages that mimic legitimate websites to steal credentials[citation:10]. Be cautious of:

  • Pages with suspicious domains (e.g., *.pages.dev, *.workers.dev)[citation:3][citation:9]
  • Requests to paste PowerShell commands or download unexpected files[citation:8]
  • Login pages served from blob URIs instead of legitimate domains[citation:10]

Identifying Fake Pages

According to security research, be cautious of:

  • Cloudflare Pages abuse: Malicious actors frequently use *.pages.dev domains for phishing[citation:3][citation:9]
  • Blob URI phishing: Fake login pages served via blob URIs to bypass security[citation:10]
  • Fake security pages: Pages pretending to be security services that drop malware[citation:8]
  • SEO spam: Content designed to manipulate search rankings with hidden text or links[citation:1][citation:6]
