When Trust Backfires: How Hackers Exploit Microsoft’s Own Emails to Breach Enterprises
📧 Microsoft’s Own Emails Used in Sophisticated Phishing Scam
🔍 Cybercriminals are now exploiting genuine Microsoft 365 emails to deceive employees.
📨 Victims receive authentic-looking emails from microsoft-noreply@microsoft.com, thanking them for a purchase they never made.
📞 The email includes a support number, connecting directly to scammers posing as Microsoft support.
🖥️ Once on the call, victims are instructed to install remote support software, often containing Remote Access Trojans (RATs), granting attackers control over their systems.
💡 This tactic leverages trust in Microsoft’s domain and exploits employee fears of unauthorized purchases.
🔒 At AUMINT.io, we specialize in detecting such sophisticated threats and training employees to recognize and respond appropriately.
📅 Schedule a consultation with AUMINT.io today to protect your organization from these emerging scams.
