When trust platforms turn into threat vectors, the consequences are devastating. A new campaign known as PoisonedSeed has been quietly targeting CRM systems and bulk email providers, weaponizing the very tools businesses rely on to communicate, sell, and grow.
This isn’t your average phishing attempt. PoisonedSeed infiltrates high-volume email platforms to hijack legitimate communication pipelines. Once inside, attackers can impersonate trusted brands, distribute malware at scale, and harvest sensitive client data – all without raising suspicion.
According to recent findings, these attackers are exploiting weak authentication mechanisms and injecting remote access trojans (RATs) into the workflow of sales and marketing teams, embedding malicious payloads into outbound campaigns.

Why This Attack Is So Dangerous
- It exploits trust at scale – users receiving emails from known CRMs rarely question authenticity
- It spreads silently – attackers can blend into regular traffic and messaging patterns
