<\/p>\nThe security experts at Retarus are cautioning users about a particularly sneaky wave of phishing attacks: Personalized phishing mails with a deceptively realistic Microsoft design and layout are currently doing the rounds, amongst other things requesting recipients to enter and confirm their passwords. Retarus is therefore advising users to check any links contained in such messages with the utmost care.<\/p>\n
The phishing email currently circulating has the subject line \u201cUpdate Your Account Information To Avoid Service Suspension\u201d and purports to be from the sender \u201cMicrosoft Office 365\u201d (@office.com). In the email, recipients are instructed to update their user details stored with Microsoft Office 365. The link contained in the message leads to a website which resembles that of Microsoft with deceptive accuracy. The exceptional feature of this attack is that the email makes a credible impression by requesting that users enter their passwords twice for verification.<\/p>\n
