Over 400 malicious Valentine's Day-themed individual phishing emails were spotted weekly during the period, according to the research.
Most of the phishing scams are focused on buyer fraud, and in some cases have reused themes and webpages from past phishing campaigns.
For example, the researchers found an email pretending to be from Pandora that was similar to one that they saw being used in Black Friday related campaigns in November 2020.
The email's aim was, as usual, to entice the user into purchasing jewellery items by offering them at unreasonably cheap prices, on a fake Pandora webpage which tries to imitate the look and feel of the real site.
\"Phishing attacks leverage different attack vectors, but the most common one is email. Other common attack vectors are phishing sites and text messages usually aimed at stealing credentials to perform account takeovers,\" Check Point Research said.
These can lead to devastating results such as data loss, fraudulent money transfers and more.
Since these attacks are specifically designed to exploit the human nature of wanting a good deal, it is extremely important to prevent these attacks from ever reaching their desired victims -- because even the most vigilant and cyber-savvy amongst us can sometimes get fooled, the researchers wrote in a blog post.
In addition, throughout January Check Point Research observed a spike in the number of new Valentine's Day-themed domains registered.
Out of the 23,000 new domains, 0.5 per cent (115) were found to be malicious, and 1.8 per cent (414) were found to be suspicious.
In general, there was a 29 per cent increase in such domains registered in January, in time for the Valentine's Day season.
To avoid falling victim to these fraud attempts, it is important to verify you are ordering online from an authentic source, the researchers said.
One way to do this is not to click on promotional links<\/a> in emails, and instead Google<\/a> your desired retailer and click the link from the Google results page, they added.

每周超过400情人节主题的钓鱼活动发现
超过400个恶意情人节主题的个人网络钓鱼电子邮件被发现周期间,根据研究。
大多数的网络钓鱼诈骗的重点是买家欺诈,和在某些情况下重用主题和网页从过去的钓鱼活动。
例如,研究人员发现一个电子邮件从潘多拉假装这是类似于一个他们看到被用于“黑色星期五”相关活动在2020年11月。
“钓鱼攻击利用不同的攻击向量,但最常见的一个是电子邮件。其他常见的攻击向量是钓鱼网站和短信通常旨在窃取凭证进行收购,“检查研究说。
这些可能会导致灾难性的后果,如数据丢失,欺诈转账等等。
因为这些攻击是专门设计来利用人性的希望,是非常重要的阻止这些攻击达到他们的期望的受害者,因为即使是最警惕和cyber-savvy我们有时会愚弄,研究人员在一篇博客文章中写道。
此外,在1月检查研究观察到的数量激增的新情人节主题的域名注册。
的23000个新域名,0.5%(115)被认为是恶意的,和1.8%(414)被认为是可疑的。
一般来说,有一个这样的域名注册1月增长29%,在情人节的季节。
为了避免这些欺诈企图牺牲品,重要的是验证你在网上订购一个真正的来源,研究人员说。
这样做的一个方法是不要点击推广链接在电子邮件,代替谷歌你想要的零售商从谷歌搜索结果页面,点击链接,他们补充说。
