The latest PayPal phishing attacks use advanced tactics that differ from standard phishing attempts. Hackers have exploited a legitimate PayPal feature, making the attack appear genuine. Instead of using fake emails or links, scammers send money requests directly through PayPal’s platform.
A cybersecurity expert explained that the attack blends in with normal PayPal activities, making it harder for users to identify fraudulent behaviour. Victims receive a genuine-looking payment request through PayPal, often linked to a compromised Microsoft 365 test domain. The transaction request appears legitimate, making it easier for users to fall victim without noticing the deception.
