A new phishing campaign is exploiting the ongoing uncertainty about company policies related to COVID-19.  The campaign uses emails that purport to be from a company’s HR office informing employees that they are required to fill out a vaccination status form.  Clicking on the link in the email will take you to a Microsoft Outlook credential  phishing page.

Another new scam is using job postings on LinkedIn.  Cybercriminals impersonate being part of a legitimate company when posting a job.  The victim initiates the connection and thinks they are installing a program to fill out an application but actually downloads malicious software.
