The 16Shop phishing kit distribution network has expanded its portfolio with new templates that target PayPal and American Express users.


Analyzing variants of this product in November 2018 and May 2019, malware researchers determined that it focused on Apple and Amazon brands, providing fake login pages for these two brands.

16Shop is a sophisticated, commercial product that validates licenses in real-time and comes with code-level protection against making copies. It can block automated crawlers from security vendors and web indexers to prolong the life of the phishing page.
In early January, security researchers from ZeroFox obtained a PayPal phishing kit from 16Shop and learned that a template for American Express also exists.
There are no published details about the Amex scam page at the moment, but a screenshot from 16Shop's panel shows that the release is in an earlier stage than the other options.
