In today’s evolving cyber landscape, even trusted platforms like SharePoint and OneDrive are being exploited in sophisticated phishing attacks. These scams leverage stolen credentials, often purchased on the dark web, to infiltrate cloud storage. Once inside, attackers upload seemingly authentic files—such as fake Microsoft 365 login pages—and cleverly set them to “view-only” or restrict access to specific users, bypassing standard security checks.
The consequences of falling for these traps are severe. Scammers can use these files to deploy malware, steal sensitive data, or disrupt operations, leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage.
How to Stay Safe:
- Raise Awareness: Train employees to recognize phishing attempts, even those appearing to come from trusted sources.
- Verify Files and Senders: Double-check the identity of anyone sharing files. When in doubt, verify through direct communication.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This adds a critical layer of security, requiring users to verify their identity with a secondary method beyond a password.
- Stay Updated: Ensure all systems and security software are updated regularly to detect the latest threats.
Why It Matters:
Phishing scams like these highlight how cybercriminals continue to innovate, exploiting even minor weaknesses. Recovering from such incidents is expensive and time-consuming, often involving data recovery, legal implications, and reputational repair.
