How This Attack Works

Fake order confirmation emails claim a large purchase was made on your account. Clicking "Cancel Order" leads to credential theft.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Sender is not @amazon.com
  • Order number does not appear in your Amazon account
  • Cancellation link goes to non-amazon.com domain
  • Asks for full credit card to "verify identity"

How Glance Stops This

  • SPF / DKIM / DMARC validation flags authentication failures before you ever see the email
  • VirusTotal + Google Safe Browsing checks every link in real time
  • Urgency language detection scores the email higher for manual review
  • Known malicious domain blocklist updated continuously from live scan data
