Warning: New Phishing Campaign Targets Instagram Users
A phishing campaign is targeting Instagram users with phony notifications about failed login attempts, according to researchers at Malwarebytes. Notably, the emails contain "mailto" links rather than traditional URLs, which help the phishing messages avoid being flagged by security filters. "Instead of linking to a phishing website, which is most common with emails like this, both the ‘Report this user’ and ‘Remove your email address’ links are mailto links," the researchers write.
