BforeAI has published a new threat advisory in which the U.S. Department of Education is being targeted through a credential phishing campaign via government impersonation.
A phishing campaign is currently targeting the U.S. Department of Education’s G5 grant portal, which is used for managing grants and federal education funding.
Multiple lookalike domains have been observed spoofing the G5 login page in an attempt to harvest login credentials from legitimate users.
These domains attempt to clone or imitate the official G5.gov interface and may be targeting education professionals, grant administrators, or vendors tied to the U.S. Department of Education.
This activity is particularly alarming given the recent Trump Administration announcement of 1,400 layoffs at the Department of Education, which may create confusion and an opportunity for social engineering.
The advisory can be found here.
