The page a user sees and the endpoint receiving submitted data do not have to be the same domain. Login, contact and payment forms should be checked for expected destinations.
Iframes create another page inside the page
Embedded video, support widgets, payment components and identity systems often use iframes. The embedded origin becomes part of the user experience and trust chain.
Unexpected destinations deserve review
A changed form action or newly embedded domain can indicate configuration drift, a third-party integration or, in some cases, compromise.
Observe surfaces browser-visible structures
Scantide Observe identifies forms, frames and external page dependencies that are visible to the browser so they can be compared with the site's intended architecture.

Field experience from the archive
Historical source · JufCorp: Using HTTP redirects for mitigating vulnerability scans and bruteforce attacksWhen a specific rule is triggered, one of these files is used as a redirect page (or landing page if you will) .
As a second test I redirected the client to http://127.0.0.1 instead (127.0.0.1 is the clients own local system basically saying " Dear browser, please open up the website located locally on my computer ") and that also worked fine. For now , I have it set to redirect to a contact form on my page but I were to see loads and loads of unwanted traffic etc, I could simply redirect it to wherever. Added: had an idea, what if setting up a specific page to where one redirects the blacklisted traffic and from that redirect the trafic to a second one pointing back to the first one? In effect having the attacker stuck in in inifinite loop. Haven't tried it but in theory it should work . Hey, you only have as fun a as you make ít :-)
