Example 170: University Of Minnesota Required Update For All Staffs

PDF forged as from President Kaler, links to fake dropbox doc with a "Google" login.
Received November 2017

Things to note

  • Email comes "from" President Kaler, but really sent by a compromised user's account
  • Attachment contains a PDF - only to deliver a link to a fake  login
  • Attachment says "dropbox" doc, but goes to fake Google login
  • "Logging in" flips to real Google Drive - if user is logged in to Google, they will see their own drive - otherwise they'll see a Google login
