Oct 2014: NDA-THEMED LURES ABUSE DocuSign Brand to Steal Credentials
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.
