Catch of the Day:  ESET Renewal Phish

Chef’s Special:  Password renewal Phish

Examples of clever phish that made it past my spam filters and into my Inbox, or from clients, or reliable sources on the Internet.

I would be delighted to accept suspicious phishing examples from you.  Please forward your email to phish@wyzguys.com.

My intention is to provide a warning, examples of current phishing scams, related articles, and education about how these scams and exploits work, and how to detect them in your own inbox.  If the pictures are too small or extend off the page, double-clicking on them will open them up in a photo viewer app.

My life and business partner forwarded this email to me.  I decided to share it, along which the email string between us.

There is something of an advantage to procrastination when it comes to phishing emails such as this one.  By the time I got around to researching this one, after about 5 hours, the landing page was already taken down or blocked by Firefox.

The button link resolved to https://musthavekilos.xyz/ion/ionos/1and1/

This warning was all that was left to find, no landing page.
