FINRA Warns of Fake FINNRA

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has issued a special alert to its member firms, alerting them to an imposter website: www.finnra.org (containing an extra “n”).

The fake site contains a purported “registration” form and firm gateway page, apparently phishing for credentials.  FINRA also warns members that the fake domain may be the source of phishing emails.

Both FINRA and the SEC have amped up their cybersecurity warnings during the pandemic.

Regulatory Notice 20-27 is here.
