A new phishing scam has been detected by MailGuard, exploiting the trademarks of Microsoft Office 365 and Xerox.
This criminal intent email attack takes the form of a plain text message purporting to be a Xerox document sharing notification.

If the recipient clicks on the ‘view document’ link they are taken to a phishing page hosted on a compromised Wordpress site.
The scammers behind this attack have set up their phishing page to look like an Office 365 sign in portal.
The objective of the scam is to harvest victim’s login credentials when they sign into the fake portal.
