Briefing

Accounts payable forwarded a reported message to you. It asks them to update the bank details for Northwind Traders, a real supplier.

The real supplier uses northwind-traders.example. Lookalike domains swap letters that look alike, like i and l. DNS and registration records show who runs the domain and how new it is.
