Hi Mike we see this kind of scam for months. Some are better made and some are bad. We got the Cisco CVE scam as well. But what is new is that the crap now comes from a big one like outlook.com. Think they speculate on "outlook is too big to block" and using legit outlook.com servers gives the scam some more credibility :-)
Just wonder if others see an increase in this kind of scam from big providers as well Have a good one tobi Am 15.11.18 um 18:32 schrieb Mike Hillyer: > The passwords on these generally will be legit.
