<\/b>Microsoft Office 365 is one of the most popular lines of services in the corporate world. With its huge customer base, it is expected to be a secure system, yet on the contrary, it’s not. Even after so many breaches, the service still contains many vulnerabilities and thus keeps on one of the favorite sites of a cyber attack. With one in every five businesses using cloud-based services, it is being increasingly used in Phishing campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attackers have been continuously leveraging access to Office 365<\/strong><\/a><\/span> accounts for deploying various cyber-attacks. One of the most widely used cyber attacks is<\/span> Phishing<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Broadly, three major cyber-attacks are being used:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Microsoft emails that ask you to update your password<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In this email, the attacker manipulates the victim into clicking on the malicious link within the email. This type of phishing attack is performed by convincing the employee to change the password by clicking on the link attached to the email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sender ID is suspicious:<\/strong> On a closer look, it can be noticed that the sender id is \u2018microsfrtfonline\u2019 which is not the actual sender id.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can see more than what is visible:<\/strong> If you hover over the link provided in the email, a different email id will be displayed, and you will be able to notice that the link re-directs you to a website that is not Microsoft\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Your IT support provider asks you to upgrade to the latest email outlook web apps<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The attackers manipulate victims to revalidate or upgrade to the latest email outlook web apps by sending an email with “RE: IT Help Desk” as its subject line automatically increasing the credibility of the phished email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Grammatical errors leave you suspicious:<\/strong> In most phishing emails, attackers do not pay attention to grammatical errors. Spelling errors and typos are very commonly found in a phished email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. The attack mimics an email return path for stealing victims\u2019 credentials<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        In this type, probable victims receive an email notifying them that the email has not been delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sense of Urgency:<\/strong> Such emails are designed in a manner that the victim is compelled to take prompt action. This is a real component of a non-delivery receipt and thus, it is important to verify the authenticity of an email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nThreatcop \u2013 Book a Free Demo<\/title>\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Outfit:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n<style>\n .tc-wrap , .tc-wrap ::before, .tc-wrap ::after { box-sizing: border-box;
