Threat Alert: NDA-THEMED LURES ABUSE DocuSign Brand to Steal Credentials

  • A series of phishing attacks is abusing the the DocuSign brand.
  • Despite the lures using DocuSign branding, the emails do not come from a DocuSign sending address.
  • The lures contain links purportedly leading to a completed DocuSign contract regarding an NDA for the targeted company.
  • Clicking the link leads to a Microsoft sign in authentication page.
  • Entering credentials ultimately leads to credential and multi-factor authentication token theft.

Key Action: Report Suspicious Emails 

  • Remain alert to phishing indicators. Mismatches between sending addresses and an organization’s name are always warning signs.
  • Go beyond surface clues. Familiar logos, branding, and names are not automatic indicators that an email or website is safe. Cybercriminals often imitate well- known organizations.
  • Report ANY suspicious emails using the Phish Alarm button.
