Darcula PhaaS 3.0: Instant Phishing Kits for Any Brand

Cybercriminals Can Now Clone Any Brand's Site in Minutes Using Darcula PhaaS v3

The Darcula phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform has introduced its third version, allowing attackers to clone legitimate websites and create phishing versions swiftly. This transformation reduces the technical expertise required for large-scale phishing attacks. According to Netcraft, this represents a significant shift in criminal capabilities, allowing cybercriminals to target any brand with customizable phishing campaigns. More than 95,000 new Darcula phishing domains and nearly 31,000 IP addresses have been blocked since the initial exposure of this threat.

The new version allows users to generate phishing kits on-demand by simply providing the URL of the brand to be impersonated. The platform uses a browser automation tool like Puppeteer to extract the HTML and assets needed for the phishing page. Once generated, the phishing content can be injected into the cloned site, allowing attackers to create pages that closely mimic the original brand's appearance.

The platform also features a user-friendly admin dashboard, making it easier for fraudsters to manage campaigns and monitor results. The automated process of generating phishing kits significantly lowers the barrier for entry into cybercrime.

Key features of Darcula v3 include:

• On-demand phishing kit generation.
• Customizable front-end design.
• Admin dashboards for campaign management.
• Tools for converting stolen credit card details into virtual images for illicit use.
