A malicious campaign is targeting French-speaking users in an attempt to steal passwords, payment details and banking details from people across France, according to researchers at the Institute for Strategic Studies (ISS).

A new phishing tactic involving fake Microsoft and Google Calendar invites has been identified, aimed at stealing login credentials. These sophisticated attacks mimic designs from well-known platforms, exploiting routine business activities like scheduling meetings. Threat actors use email spoofing and create fake urgent calendar invitations to deceive employees. The phishing emails often contain buttons or links that redirect to fake login pages, closely resembling official Microsoft or Google login screens. The campaigns exploit the popularity of calendar invitations in corporate environments, allowing attackers to gather sensitive information if users are not vigilant. To prevent falling victim to these attacks, it is crucial to verify the authenticity of calendar invites, carefully check sender details, and avoid clicking suspicious links from unknown senders.
