Active Phishing Schemes in Mississippi!
The Mississippi Cyber Unit (MCU) has received reports about an ongoing phishing scheme in Mississippi targeting businesses by distributing malicious URLs. Threat actors are impersonating legitimate vendors and sending malicious URLs related to projects that the companies are actively working on. These malicious URLs are crafted to deceive users into downloading malware, entering personal information into credential-harvesting portals, or engaging in other harmful activities. They often mimic legitimate websites and business documents from reputable companies, making it essential to always verify URLs before clicking.
Remember to:
- Double-check email senders and URLs.
- Avoid opening unexpected attachments.
- Avoid giving personal or financial information without verifying its authenticity.
- Report suspicious emails immediately.
