Phishing emails aren't always full of spelling mistakes and obvious red flags anymore. Today's scams can look incredibly convincing — and attackers are using new tactics to get around traditional security.

⚠️ Some of the phishing scams we're seeing right now include:

- QR Code Phishing — Emails asking you to scan a QR code to verify your account, view a document, or reset MFA.

- Fake Microsoft 365 Verification — Attackers may direct you to a legitimate Microsoft verification page and trick you into entering a device code that can give them access to your account.

- AI-Written Phishing Emails — Cleaner grammar, better wording, and more personalized messages make scams harder to recognize.

- Invoice & Payment Scams — Fake requests to change banking information, update direct deposit, or pay an "urgent" invoice.

- Email + Phone Scams — An email is followed by a phone call or text to make the request seem more legitimate.

Microsoft reported detecting approximately 8.3 BILLION email-based phishing threats in the first quarter of 2026 alone. QR code phishing was also one of the fastest-growing attack methods during that period.

- What should you look for?

Unexpected QR codes. Urgent requests. Login or MFA prompts you didn't initiate. Changes to payment information. And any message pressuring you to act RIGHT NOW.

- When in doubt — stop, verify, and ask IT before clicking, scanning, approving, or entering a code.

- Want your team to get better at spotting these attacks?

We offer cybersecurity awareness classes designed to help employees recognize real-world threats before a simple click becomes a very expensive problem.
