In a recent campaign, scammers were seen using the legitimate reCaptcha walls for a phishing email scam involving a fake Microsoft login page.
- Sophisticated scammers have identified a way to use the reCaptcha service to prevent automated URL analysis systems from analyzing the actual content of phishing pages, making these scams more realistic to their victims.
- A single phishing campaign was identified by the security firm, Barracuda Networks, in which 128,000 emails were sent to a variety of organizations and employees using reCAPTCHA walls, posing as fake Microsoft login pages.
- One of the sample phishing emails included a voicemail message received by the victim. Upon clicking, it took users to a genuine-looking page with a reCaptcha wall.
- Solving the reCAPTCHA wall redirects the victims to a fake Microsoft login page, asking users for Microsoft credentials to proceed, which are then sent straight to the fraudsters.
