Overview

Threat actors collecting email credentials

Explanation

Threat actors are using compromised accounts to collect e-mail credentials. By using compromised accounts, the e-mail seems legitimate at first glance as it seems to originate from a known and trusted source. In reality, however, it is malicious.

The phishing mail leads the user to believe that there is a document to be reviewed. By clicking on the fake link the user is first redirected to a fake OneNote page. Clicking on ‘Appuyez ici pour voir et imprimer le document’ the user is redirected to a phishing form, which asks for e-mail credentials.

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.
