Description

Robert Duncan from Netcraft is sharing their research on "Phishception - SendGrid abused to host phishing attacks impersonating itself." Netcraft has recently observed that criminals abused Twilio SendGrid’s email delivery, API, and marketing services to launch a phishing campaign impersonating itself. 

Hackers behind this novel phishing campaign used SendGrid’s Tracking Settings feature, which allows users to track clicks, opens, and subscriptions with SendGrid. The malicious link was masked behind a tracking link hosted by SendGrid.
