Today, Armorblox released its latest blog of a recent account compromise attack that targeted a large university.
These emails, targeting over 160,000 end users and a much larger number of organizations outside as well from this compromised account in a trusted university, bypassed native Microsoft 365 Email Security (receiving an SCL score of -1) to land in victims’ inboxes.
How it worked: the attack involved the use of a compromised account to execute a malicious email attack to university students about a (fake) job that was open for applications. Clicking the Apply Here button directed victims to a google form that included a summary of the position and asked for sensitive information such as address, phone number, bank name, full name, age, etc.
The blog post can be found here.
