Account Verification Phish
I received this one on 2023-06-15 10:25 am CDT.
The Click to Verify link resolved to https://fleek.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTxMCn9HYcdTHgZdUrhCbxCyXcd3FQTVV8d3SLD3PciRx?filename=ucto.htmll#support@wyzmail.com.
This revealed a login page hosted on a legitimate service provider ipfs.io.
A quick look at the URL in Virustotal showed the link to be a known malicious phishing address.
The hosting server is at 209.94.90.1. and provided by a service provider called Protocol Labs.
This is a credential stealing exploit. Pretty easy to spot because of the generic looking trade dress and the sender address.
New phishing and business email compromise campaigns increase in complexity, bypass MFA
Read the technical details about a new AiTM phishing attack combined with a BEC campaign as revealed by Microsoft, and learn how to mitigate this threat.
Mail Delivery Error Phish
Received this Friday 2023-06-16 4:25 AM CDT. Exploit still active when I started exploring it at 8:30 AM.
The Resolve Issue button resolves to https://href.li/?https://dev3696.dyioydigxiges.amplifyapp.com/#bob@wyzguys.com
which redirects to
https://dev3696.dyioydigxiges.amplifyapp.com/#bob@wyzguys.com
A fairly standard IONOS logon landing page for credential stealing. In this case the attackers want the log on to my web mail
Virustotal identified the link as a phishing link
Other details include the server’s IP address
This exploit is evidently being hosted on Amazon Web Services
Keep your eyes out for exploits such as this one. The logon landing page may show GoDaddy, BlueHost, or other web mail and web hosting companies
