Phishing Attempt targeting Smartermail
Question asked by ActorMike - 12/30/2024 at 6:18 AM
Answered
FYI got a lame attempt at phishing. Long time user of SM so I have never seen this type of targeting before.
Came from  185.137.164.1
We've started blocking these offshore IP's on our firewall. In fact, I will lookup the IP address and block the entire CIDR 185.137.164.0/24 as we have no use for traffic originating from the Netherlands.

Hello,
As security measures continue to evolve to detect phishing attempts, so too do the methods used to bypass them. It's an unfortunate, ever-evolving challenge that keeps us constantly adapting.
