Phishing attacks exploit free calendar app to steal account credentials.

Cybercriminals who specialize in phishing attacks like to point people to actual websites as much as possible.

In a report released Thursday, email security provider INKY describes a recent phishing campaign that took advantage of the Calendly calendar app to harvest sensitive account credentials from unsuspecting victims.

Clicking on that link would have brought the user to a webpage that looked like a Microsoft site but actually was set up to steal Microsoft account credentials.

The first attempt triggered an invalid password error, a known tactic in which the user is told that their credentials aren't valid but those credentials are actually harvested behind the scenes.
