Crooks are embedding malicious links in Microsoft Visio files
The files are distributed via compromised email accounts
The goal of the campaign is to steal Microsoft 365 login credentials
Security researchers from Perception Point have spotted a new two-step phishing campaign aiming to steal people’s Microsoft 365 login credentials. It includes compromised email accounts, compromised SharePoint accounts, and some convincing – but fake – purchase orders.
The attack starts with a hacked Microsoft SharePoint account, where the criminals would upload a file using Microsoft Visio – the company’s tool for making professional diagrams and charts, creating files with the .VSDX extension.
