New Scam Alert: Adobe-Themed Phishing Surge

Cyber Security Hub reported: 

Security researchers have warned of a sharp increase in phishing emails carrying Adobe InDesign links with attackers targeting specific organizations and users. Since October, there has been a near 30-fold rise in malicious emails carrying Adobe InDesign prompts, according to data from cyber security firm Barracuda.

  • The attacks leveraging Adobe InDesign employ several tactics to evade detection and trick targets. These include:
  • Leveraging a known and trusted domain that is not commonly block listed.
  • Using a publishing program to create highly convincing social engineering attacks.
  • Moving recipients to another web page once the link is clicked so there is no known malicious URL in the main body of the message for traditional security tools to detect and block.
