Explanation
Threat actors are currently utilising a fraudulent Microsoft Outlook theme to extract email credentials from users.
The phishing email is disguised as an account closure notification from the Outlook team. The email convinces users that their Outlook account will be deactivated due to inactivity, unless they confirm their active status.
By clicking on the link labelled ‘Confirm Active Status’, users are redirected to a page mimicking the Outlook login screen. This page presents a form asking for the user’s Outlook email and password.
Once users provide their credentials, they are shown a confirmation page thanking them for confirming their active status.
