Criminals posing as “Microsoft” in this new email scam

Have you seen this email?
If so, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS!


Criminals posing as Microsoft claiming that there has been “suspicious activity” on your account and requiring you to “sign in to your account” want to hijack your information.

THIS IS A PHISHING ATTEMPT.

If you “sign-in” you will be giving them your authentication info that they will use to harm your computer or hold your entire organization’s network hostage for RANSOME money (in bitcoins).

What to do:

1. Check the TO: info.  It’s sometimes a random address such as “careers”.

2. DO NOT respond with a question.  The bad guys will likely respond back insisting you log in with your info (that’s their hook).

3. DO NOT click on their link.  Rather, hover over the link to see the destination address.  It may be a random or suspicious URL or a misspelled “microsoft” address.

4.  Suspicious?  Forward the suspicious email (as an attachment by using CTRL+ALT+F) to support@GenesisGT.com.
