2020-12-14 18:36

The attackers behind the attack leveraged hundreds of compromised, legitimate email accounts in order to target organizations with emails, which pretended to be document delivery notifications.

In reality, the phishing attack stole victims' Office 365 credentials.

Microsoft Office 365 users have faced several sophisticated phishing attacks and scams over the past few months.

In reality, the attack aimed to steal Office 365 recipients' login credentials.

Finally, earlier this month, a spearphishing attack spoofed Microsoft.com to target 200 million Microsoft Office 365 users in a number of key vertical markets, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and utility providers.
