BS Microsoft adCenter phishing

We’ve had loads of phishing directed at Google Adwords customers. Today we present the equivalent phishing attack directed at Microsoft adCenter users.

The phishing page is a completely convincing replica of the actual Microsoft login page. We had to be amused though by the domain set up for the phishing site:

“adcenter1.microsoft-bs.com”.

Email text:

Dear adCenter customer,

For quality services and running your ads without any problems (Innactive account meaning Pausing your Ads) check the status of your adCenter account regularly.

Check your Microsoft adCenter status now.

Sincerely,

The Microsoft adCenter Team
