New Form of Email Phishing Attack

There is a new form of email phishing attack that is becoming increasingly common.

DO NOT ENTER YOUR COMPANY EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD IN A WEBSITE UNLESS THE web address is https://login.microsoftonline.com, as in the screenshot below:

If you click on a link from a phishing email and enter your email address and your password, the hackers may be able to bypass Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) protection, if you have previously entered the code on your computer. The consequences can include your mailbox being compromised, along with phishing emails sent to everyone in your contacts list, including your customers and suppliers.

If you are ever in any doubt, please forward the suspicious email to helpdesk@cilix.co.uk immediately, and we will advise on whether the email is safe.
