General Background
Many companies have their logo, fonts, colors, and other unique brand identity used by scammers. Unfortunately, most companies are silent about this. They do not inform the public or their customers. So, people are completely unaware, unprepared, and unprotected against massive global attacks.
Wordfence has demonstrated best practices by quickly notifying their user community of the problem.
