Emails from Adobe, ATO or Microsoft

Adobe Sign

The aim of this phishing email is to lure recipients into disclosing their email account log-in credentials by claiming that it is necessary in order to view the sent contract documents.

ATO

The ATO and myGov won't send you an SMS, email with a QR code or link to access online services. These should only be accessed directly by typing ato.gov.au or my.gov.au into your browser.

Microsoft

Watch Out for Additional Red Flags

In an attempt to steal sensitive Microsoft login credentials, scammers are distributing a simple email to user inboxes with a prominent blue button requesting that they ‘Re-authenticate Now’, to ‘avoid potential disruption to your account.’

Or emails containing a person wanting to share a document with you. These types of emails get the user to enter in their email address, for an authentication code, hoping to deceive you in entering your email and password to retrieve the shared document.
