INV#987_2022 Awating your confirmation

Explanation

In this case, the email states that an invoice is available on the file server and that it needs immediate confirmation.

When clicking on the link, a fake login page is shown with a logo of Adobe and Microsoft.

Note that the e-mail is customised to the organisation. The organisation name is part of the subject and the shared filename to make the recipient believe that the e-mail originates from an internal system.

Another observation for this case is the spelling mistake in the subject for the word Awating.

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.
