Attackers are using Microsoft’s legitimate login system to camouflage phishing attacks
Attackers are exploiting Microsoft's legitimate authentication system to conduct phishing campaigns that bypass employee training and security warnings. Between June 25 and mid-July, Check Point identified over 200 phishing emails targeting approximately 120 organizations globally, with attacks masquerading as Microsoft Planner task-assignment notifications from HR.
Why it matters: Security teams and employees across multiple industries need to recognize that legitimate-looking Microsoft notifications can still be phishing vectors, requiring additional verification before clicking links or entering credentials.
