Description

A sophisticated campaign has been detected that utilizes a multi-stage approach to evade detection. The attack begins with a procurement-themed email containing a attachment. This redirects victims to another hosted on trusted , which then leads to a fake Dropbox login page. The attackers exploit trusted platforms and harmless file formats to bypass security measures. The campaign uses social engineering tactics to harvest credentials, which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled infrastructure via Telegram. This method proves effective by leveraging legitimate business processes, trusted file types, and reputable cloud services to appear authentic and bypass automated security checks.
