Microsoft Warns of Sneaky Phishing Campaign
Microsoft's Security Intelligence team sounds the alarm on a sneaky phishing email campaign with fake sender addresses. The phishing email also cleverly employs various detection evasion techniques to trick most automated filters and users in its attempt to garner Microsoft Office 365 credentials.
The alert was sent after observing an active campaign that was zoning in on Office 365 organizations with convincing emails.
In a statement by Microsoft, "An active phishing campaign is using a crafty combination of legitimate-looking original sender email addresses, spoofed display sender addresses that contain the target usernames and domains, and display names that mimic legitimate services to try and slip through email filters."
Microsoft notes that this campaign is sneakier than usual due to the convincing Microsoft logos with the link posing as a 'file share' request to access bogus reports. However, the main phishing URL relies on a Google storage resource that takes the victim to the Google App Engine domain Appspot. This results in hiding a second URL that directs the victim to a compromised SharePoint site, and thus allowing the attack to bypass sandboxes.
Researchers at Microsoft have published details
Accounting to the FBI
According to the FBI's latest figures, phishing attacks have cost Americans more than $4.2 billion last year. Fraudsters employ business email compromise (BEC) attacks, which rely on compromised email accounts or email addresses that are similar to legitimate ones and are difficult to filter as they blend within normal, expected traffic. BEC attacks are far more costly than high-profile ransomware attacks.

What is Regulatory Compliance & Services?
What is Compliance
Compliance means conforming to a rule, such as a specification, policy, standard or law. Regulatory compliance describes the goal that organizations aspire to achieve in their efforts to ensure that they are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws, policies, and regulations.
Business and Compliance
When it comes to a business and corporate management, compliance refers to the company obeying all of the legal laws and regulations in regards to how they manage the business, their staff, and their treatment towards their consumers. The concept of compliance is to make sure that corporations act responsibly.
The pressure to comply with constantly changing regulatory, third-party, and internal guidelines can be overwhelming. Being unprepared to manage risks yet meet mandates can lead to economic consequences and legal liabilities. Both can contribute to a significant financial impact and hurt to your reputation, which could prove even more damaging. You may be exposed to threats you’re not yet familiar with that could be putting your company’s reputation at risk—and even jeopardizing its future.Many major companies within the United States are subject to some type of security regulation.
Complying to regulatory compliance
Regulations that contain information security requirements are intended to improve the information security level of organizations within that industry and many organizations would welcome such information. The difficulty comes in determining which regulations apply and in interpreting the requirements of the regulation. The regulations are not written in a way that is easily understood by the average business person so many times a security professional is needed to understand the requirements and how to best implement them. Professionals have experience implementing systems, policies, and procedures to satisfy the requirements of the regulation and enhance the security of your organization and some have obtained credentials such as (CyberSecOp Information Security Practitioner) that signify their understanding of the regulations. Often the requirements are given in general terms leaving the company to determine how to best satisfy the requirements.
