CAPTCHA Verification Page
Phishing attacks commonly use a CAPTCHA verification page as an intermediate step between the initial landing page and the credential capture site.
This page is designed to prevent automated scanners, bots, and email security tools from accessing the phishing infrastructure. At the same time, the presence of a CAPTCHA adds a sense of legitimacy, reinforcing the belief that the interaction is part of a normal security process.
After the CAPTCHA is completed, the user is directed to the next stage of the attack.
Cloudflare Verification Page
Attackers frequently abuse Cloudflare’s browser verification and security challenge pages as part of phishing campaigns.
Because Cloudflare is a widely trusted security provider, its verification pages appear familiar and credible to users. When presented during a phishing flow, these pages can create the impression that the website is protected and legitimate, further reducing suspicion.
Once the Cloudflare verification step is completed, the user is seamlessly forwarded to the next stage of the phishing attack.
