Security News > 2023 > October > New EvilProxy Phishing Attack Uses Indeed.com Redirector to Target US Executives
Microsoft, the Dark Web and the name John Malkovich all factor into this EvilProxy phishing attack.
A new EvilProxy phishing attack is leveraging an open redirection flaw from the legitimate Indeed.com job search site, according to a report from Menlo Security, a cloud-based security company.
Menlo Security notes this phishing attack campaign targets C-suite employees and other key executives at U.S.-based organizations primarily in manufacturing, insurance, banking and financial services, property management and real estate.
How this new phishing campaign abuses Indeed.com redirector.
This new EvilProxy attack starts with a phishing email sent to targets.
An HTTP POST request contains the victim's base64-encoded email address and a session identifier, which is also typical of the EvilProxy phishing kit.
