Warning!: Ongoing Phishing Attack

Please be aware that there is an ongoing phishing attack that is currently stealing usernames and passwords.

The attack is currently disguising itself as a OneDrive document link and will genuinely be sent from one of your contacts. It is also using real e-mail signatures to make itself look more genuine.

The attack operates like a worm, using the credentials it collects to send onto the next set of victims.

As a reminder here are steps that you should follow when you receive an e-mail:

  • Make sure you ALWAYS hover over links in e-mail messages to check where they are really sending you before clicking on them

  • If you do not know the sender or were not expecting the e-mail message DO NOT click any links or open any attachments
  • If a link in an e-mail message takes you to a login prompt NEVER enter your username or password

  • If you are unsure about an e-mail message and you do know the sender PHONE THEM

If you have any questions or concerns please get in contact with us at support@focusedit.co.uk or on +44 1534 780852.
