Basic Phishing scam successfully targets PR agency, reporters

Salted Hash received a pitch from a PR agency we’ve worked with in the past. The email wasn’t a pitch, it was a Phishing attack with at least three victims – including the PR agency that sent it and the two journalists who forwarded the original message. The agency uses all the proper security settings when it comes to email, so the Phishing blast cleared any anti-Spam filter it encountered. The message claimed to contain a report form the Special Anti Crime Bureau. But the link in the email isn’t – it’s a Dropbox Phishing page harvesting email credentials from Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, or personal POP accounts.”]
