Legitimate-looking links from OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox slip by standard security measures.
Bad actors have added a new snare to their bag of social engineering tricks- malicious OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox links.
Links to these legitimate sites can often slip by standard security measures that stop malware and block access to suspicious sites.
These malicious links also can deliver malware to the user's machine to allow the attackers to control the device to spread malware to other systems.
These links often bypass traditional security layers, such as the proxy, and connect directly to Microsoft.
