About this tag
Link rewriting, also known as URL rewriting or link wrapping, is a security technique used by enterprise email protection tools to rewrite links in incoming messages. This process replaces original URLs with rewritten versions that pass through a security filter, allowing organizations to block malicious links. However, recent research shows that phishing actors are now abusing these link rewriting services to bypass security defenses and steal Microsoft 365 credentials. By exploiting trusted email security tools, attackers can sneak malicious links past automated threat detection, raising concerns about the effectiveness of link rewriting as a standalone security measure. This tag covers discussions about the abuse of link rewriting in phishing attacks and its implications for enterprise email security.
