Phishing Email Alerts
Catch of the Day: Mailbox is Full Phish
Chef’s Special: Relief Funds Phish
Examples of clever phish that made it past my spam filters and into my inbox. Some are sent by clients or readers like you, and other reliable sources on the Internet.
You can send phishing samples to me at phish@wyzguys.com.
My intention is to provide a warning and show current examples of phishing scams, related articles, and education about how these scams and exploits work, and how to detect them in your inbox. If the pictures are too small or extend off the page, double clicking the image will display them in a photo viewer app.
Mailbox is Full Phish
I pulled this one from my Spamdrain spam filter. Unremarkable graphics, but the link resolved to https://bafybeichyuqdi3i4xcoy3puodb3bzwlafrshvv2iil4a543ofgq7pyde3u.ipfs.w3s.link/kingofking247_cham-e046465.html#phish@wyzguys.com.
Firefox in Kali would not allow a connection
I stripped off everything from the URL but the domain, and got the warning shown below.
Sorry I was not able to get further with this investigation. Lately I have been undersupplied with phish from my inbox, so I am combing through mu spam filters to find suitable candidates for analysis.
Relief Funds Phish
Nobody is giving you a million dollars, or even 950,000 euros, out of the blue. I dug this out of my IONOS spam filter.
