  • Phishing Email 20220427-001 - A Fake McAfee Invoice

    I received another phishing email that managed to land directly in my inbox. However, in this case, around 20 minutes after it arrived it moved automatically into my spam folder. Good to know that Gmail will retroactively flag emails as spam after they’ve been delivered and yank them into oblivion.

  • Phishing Email 20211019-001 - A Cold Case

    A while back I received a curious email and immediately thought that it was a good candidate for a little bit of analysis. It had a nonsensical subject line and an attachment with what appeared to be a Russian filename. The body of the email was empty. And for all of that, it somehow managed to miss my GMail’s spam filter and land directly in my inbox flagged as Important. However, I had just started a new job and was a little swamped in learning some new tools. So, I saved a copy of the email and its attachment with the intent on coming back to dig into it at a later date.
