Another phishing email. I’ll explain the boxes at the top later – that is me, not the email. Blurred regions are emails
Again, links go to some website. WordPress again. People, you need to update your WordPress! And stop using all the plugins
No, I’m not saying WordPress is terrible. I’m using it for this site. I’m saying (as with all things) you need to patch early, and patch often! Too many times people spin up a WordPress site then basically ignore it for update, and then it gets hacked.
The link (once I changed the email address) goes to a fake login page. Interestingly not a fake Microsoft, just a random one. It pulls the name after the @ to put it in the blurred regions. So lets say it was ‘[email protected]’ you were using, it says ‘Whitehouse Online Webmail App’. Also, Copyright 2019?
Then the usual trick of saying your password is wrong, to make people re-enter to confirm they were entering it correctly
Then the ‘you fixed it’ message (and now copyright 2018?)
And it redirects you to the domain for your email.
Now to explain the boxes on the email. Microsoft Rules, basically. The red one triggers on any email from external, that doesn’t match our domain. Then you have to whitelist anything that legitimately spoofs your domain. The yellow one is just triggered on any external emails. Not 100% but works pretty well. I should do another post explaining it, but in short I used this and made a second one based off of that.
Stay safe out there
