Too Long; Didn't Read

1,140 domain names related to George Floyd and Black Lives Matter were detected within 19 days of monitoring. 70% of new registered domains are malicious or suspicious, possibly figuring in phishing campaigns and malware attacks. Some of these domains belong to legitimate charitable foundations, but several could be operated by scammers. People looking to donate to the movement and Floyd’s family should exercise caution. A fake Black Lives Matters Facebook page claimed to be raising money for activists and obtained around US$100,000 in donations.
