The FBI is warning Microsoft 365 users about a growing phishing scam that targets Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and other Microsoft services. Attackers are using fake emails and legitimate-looking Microsoft login pages to trick people into granting access to their accounts — even if multi-factor authentication is enabled.
To stay protected, the FBI recommends:
* Don’t click links or open attachments from unexpected emails or text messages.
* Double-check email addresses, website URLs, and spelling for anything suspicious.
* Be cautious of urgent messages asking you to “verify,” “approve,” or “act fast.”
* Never enter a device code or login information unless you initiated the request yourself.
* Report suspicious emails to your IT department or the FBI’s IC3 reporting site.
Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, but slowing down and verifying requests before logging in can help prevent account takeovers and data theft.
