Front-End Deception

Definition

Front-End Deception refers to a type of cyberattack where users are tricked by a manipulated or fake user interface. In this attack, malicious actors present a fraudulent website or application interface that appears legitimate, aiming to trick users into revealing sensitive information or authorizing unauthorized transactions. The deception occurs at the user-facing layer, often by mimicking legitimate platforms closely to steal credentials or private keys. Victims may unknowingly interact with the deceptive interface, leading to loss of digital assets or personal data compromise.
