**Protection against detection**&#x20;

Cloudflare provides services that hide the real IP address of the server hosting the phishing site. This makes it difficult for providers, security services, and law enforcement agencies to detect and block it. An attacker can use Cloudflare to avoid a quick site deletion.

**Increasing user trust**&#x20;

Cloudflare offers free SSL certificates, which allows attackers to create a semblance of legitimacy. Users, seeing "https" in the address bar, may be less careful and trust the site more, which increases the chances of successfully obtaining their personal information.\
&#x20;

**Multi-level traffic filtering**

Cloudflare uses sophisticated algorithms to filter traffic, which can make it difficult to detect phishing activities. Attackers can use this to their advantage to avoid being blocked and continue to gain access to potential victims.

**Anonymity**&#x20;

Cloudflare helps hide the location and identity of the attacker, making it harder to catch. This allows them to continue their actions without fear of being caught.

**Traffic filtering**&#x20;

Cloudflare uses algorithms to filter traffic and block suspicious requests. This can help attackers avoid detection, as legitimate traffic can be skipped and suspicious requests blocked.

**Protection from bots**&#x20;

Cloudflare offers protection against automated bots, which makes it difficult to automatically scan a website for fraudulent activity. This can help intruders to remain undetected.
