Devious Spamhaus Phishing Scam Warns You're on an Email Block List
#1
Quote:A new phishing campaign distributing malware pretends to be from the Spamhaus Project warning that the recipient's email address has been added to a spam block list due to sending unsolicited email.

Spamhaus Project is an organization that creates spam block lists that mail servers can utilize to block known spammers from sending emails to recipients in their organization.

In a new phishing campaign discovered by ProofPoint researcher Matthew Mesa, malware distributors are sending emails that pretend to be from the Spamhaus Project.

These email states that the recipient must "Urgently Take Action" because their email address has been added to the Spamhaus Block List (SBL) and will be blacklisted on mail servers unless they follow the instructions found at a listed URL.
