Overview

Threat actors collecting Microsoft 365 credentials

Explanation

Threat actors are using compromised accounts to collect personal information and credit card information.
By using compromised accounts, the e-mail seems legitimate at first glance as it seems to originate from a known and trusted source. In reality, however, it is malicious.

The phishing mail leads the user to believe that they need to place an order. By opening the attachment, a phishing form with a fake Microsoft Excel document in the background is shown to collect the Microsoft 365 credentials.

Prevention

If you are uncertain about the authenticity of an email, do not hesitate to contact the entity that seems to have sent you the email using a safe communication manner, using the phone for example (no phone number from the untrusted email must be used in order to verify the authenticity).
If you are working for the Luxembourgish government or are using any of the GOVCERT.LU services, it is important to forward phishing emails to us (using Reporting an incident or the Outlook button). This will allow us to take down phishing websites and protect members of our constituency.
