<REDACTED>@pt.lu vous a envoyé des fichiers avec WeTransfer _{^(2024-04-25)}

Overview

Threat actors collecting Microsoft account credentials

Explanation

The goal of this phishing campaign is to steal Microsoft account credentials.

The phishing mail leads the user to believe that they received PDF documents via the WeTransfer file sharing service from a trusted source. The link in the email does indeed look like a WeTransfer URL, but hovering over it with the mouse reveals that the actual link is associated to another domain, unrelated to the file sharing service.

When clicking the link to retrieve the files, the victim is taken to a page that impersonates WeTransfer.

The victim is given the option to sign in with Microsoft or Outlook. After the choice is made, the credentials are requested which are then sent to the attacker.

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.
