MT Intelligence
The domain booking.assistcloud.help mimics Booking.com's payment flow with a page titled 'Booking.com - Payment information' and displays fake 3D Secure verification screens, SMS codes, and email verification prompts — all classic phishing tactics. Our scam-network fingerprint confirms it is a clone of booking.com using phishing templates. The evidence package contains multiple Facebook posts from Israeli travel groups explicitly warning that this is a 'sophisticated scam' targeting Booking.com hotel bookers, with screenshots showing the fake payment page. No legitimate business registration, company affiliation, or positive reviews exist for assistcloud.help or its subdomains. The page requests browser push-notification permission, a known malvertising and spam vector. One antivirus engine (CRDF) flagged it as malicious, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports but the domain itself shows all hallmarks of a credential-harvesting operation.
