A new phishing campaign is underway that pretends to be an alert from your email server that it has received an encrypted message for you. It then prompts you to login to a fake OneDrive site in order to read the message.

As phishing campaigns are getting easier to spot, scammers are coming up with new and more interesting ideas to trick people into entering their email credentials.

An example of this is a new campaign that uses the subject line of "Encrypted Message Received" and pretends to be a notice from your mail server stating that you need to login to read an encrypted message.
