Upon closer inspection, however, there are obvious grammatical and design errors that allude to the fact that this is a scam, such as, the inconsistent font sizes and overly simple HTML email design, not representative of professional communication from a company such as Microsoft. The email, screenshotted below, takes the form of a ‘billing statement’ alert, pretending to warn customers that their ‘Microsoft 365 Business Standard’ subscription has expired:Īs you can see, scammers have incorporated accurate Microsoft branding elements in the body of the email, particularly the Office 365 and Microsoft logos, as well as the sign-off, which includes a privacy statement and Microsoft head office address. Providing details such as your login email or password to your Microsoft Office 365 account means that cybercriminals can access your email, calendars, contacts and sensitive company information that can be used to design BEC scams, for identity fraud, or sold on the dark web, plus other criminal activity. Microsoft 365 Business customers beware, there’s a phishing email currently circulating, purporting to be from Microsoft, with the subject line ‘Re: View Your Microsoft 365 Business Standard invoice’. Trusted by over 300 million customers worldwide, it’s common for scammers to spoof Microsoft to try to steal sensitive credentials from customers.
