Please take note of the latest phishing campaigns that may put your business at risk:

  • Attacker shares a fake invoice via Intuit Quickbooks to hide their email address.
  • The details in the invoice are all real and would give no clear giveaway that this is phishing.
  • After clicking "Print or Save" you are directed to an invoice page that shows more information about the invoice. Including an email to reach out to.
  • By hosting this attack through quickbooks, the scammer is able to have a professional looking email, as well as numerous real logos attached with it.

This scam is meant to be a precursor attack, meaning the scammers want you to reach out to ask for more information.
