/ 1 min read
🔗 Sophisticated PayPal phishing scam exploits legitimate email systems. A new phishing scam targeting PayPal users has been identified by Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs, which utilizes seemingly authentic emails and valid PayPal login pages to deceive victims. Scammers exploit Microsoft365 domains to send money requests, bypassing traditional phishing filters and linking victims’ accounts to unauthorized addresses. Once victims log in, attackers gain control over their PayPal accounts, risking financial loss. Experts emphasize the importance of cybersecurity awareness, advising users to be cautious of unsolicited emails, verify URLs, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect their accounts. This incident underscores the evolving tactics used in phishing attacks, highlighting the need for vigilance among users.
