Recent phishing campaigns have exploited trust by sending emails that appear to be security alerts, causing concern among users. These emails often claim that messages have been blocked and prompt urgent action, increasing the likelihood that users will engage with malicious links. The emails cleverly impersonate notifications from the user’s own domain to further deceive victims.
Once users interact with the email, they are directed to a fraudulent webmail login page that is pre-filled with their email addresses, enhancing its authenticity. Security analysts from Unit 42 have highlighted that these phishing efforts not only utilize deceptive subject lines but also employ HTML attachments with embedded JavaScript to extract login credentials. This deep integration of psychological manipulation and technical sophistication underscores the importance of layered defenses and user awareness to mitigate such threats.
