The phishing email leads recipients to a phony BOA landing page in an attempt to steal their banking credentials, according to Armorblox.
A blog post published Thursday by security provider Armorblox explains how a recent phishing campaign impersonates Bank of America.
In this attack, which hit the inbox of an Armorblox customer, the recipient receives an email that claims to come from Bank of America with a request and link to update their email address.
Clicking on the link takes the user to a credential phishing page built to resemble the Bank of America home page.
Though the sender's name of Bank of America was spoofed, the email was sent from a personal Yahoo Mail account via SendGrid.
