Hasty Hawk

Since at least March 2022, Hasty Hawk has hijacked domains to operate widespread phishing campaigns that primarily spoof DHL shipping pages and fake donation sites to support Ukraine. The actor exploits many authoritative DNS providers, often reconfiguring hijacked domains to host content on Russian IPs. We’ve observed Hasty Hawk using online ads to distribute malicious content, but they may also use other means such as spam messages. They operate a TDS to route users to different webpages that vary in content and language depending on the user’s geolocation and other characteristics. Hasty Hawk switches some of their domains back and forth between campaign themes.

  • Operating since: At least 2022
  • Infoblox discovered: July 2024
  • Infoblox published: November 2024
  • Prevalence: Uncommon
