Microsoft users are receiving emails pretending to be from mail couriers FedEx and DHL Express – but that really steal their credentials.
Researchers are warning of recent phishing attacks targeting at least 10,000 Microsoft email users, pretending to be from popular mail couriers – including FedEx and DHL Express.
Both scams have targeted Microsoft email users and aim to swipe their work email account credentials. They also used phishing pages hosted on legitimate domains. This email contained some information about the document to make it seem legitimate – such as its ID, number of pages and type of document – along with a link to view the supposed document. If the recipients clicked on the email, they would be taken to a file hosted on Quip. Quip, which comes in a free version, is tool for Salesforce that offers documents, spreadsheets, slides, and chat services.
Cybercriminals are tapping into this, as seen in these recent phishing emails – but they have also leveraged many other tinely lures, from Covid-19 relief funds, vaccine rollouts and personal protective equipment (PPE) needs.
