🚨 Fraud Alert: Calendar Phishing
Fraudsters are sending emails that look like invoices or subscription notices from companies such as PayPal or Norton. These emails include or trigger a calendar invite, that are often automatically added to your device calendar.
How it works:
• The invite may appear legitimate and include a “Join meeting”
or “View details” link.
• Clicking the link may redirect you to a fake login page designed to steal your username and password.
Protect yourself:
• Don’t click links in unexpected emails or calendar invites
• Verify the sender before responding
• Never enter your credentials after clicking a suspicious link
• Enable multi-factor authentication
