DTS has recently noticed an increase in Phishing Scam related emails coming from legitimate sources. These emails generally appear as encrypted emails. They are targeting dental / health related companies.

OR
We tend to see these websites then lead you to a Google or Microsoft login webpage. Sometimes, in between that page loading, it will have you click another link or do a “Are you a robot?” test to make it feel legitimate.
Not all emails are the same or lead to the same place but mainly do the same thing, ask for you email password. We are seeing these come from legitimate dental offices, which is why it is spreading so quick. The user believes they are just being prompted to verify their password since it is mocking an encrypted email.
Below is a quick video (not made by DTS, credit to “trumancyber”) to show the level that hackers are willing to go to, and it all looks very real. This is a form of what we are seeing but without the ability to do the ‘drag test’ as mentioned in the video. Every website will present itself differently and with different quirks, etc. If you have a doubt on the legitimacy of an email. Please do not click anything in it and reach out to us below.
