link wrapping exploits
About this tag
Link wrapping exploits refer to a sophisticated cyberattack technique where criminals manipulate URL rewriting services—such as those from Proofpoint and Intermedia—designed to protect email users. Instead of blocking threats, attackers hijack these link-wrapping features to disguise malicious URLs, leading victims to fake Microsoft 365 login pages. This method has been used in large-scale phishing campaigns, notably between June and July 2025, to steal credentials and compromise enterprise accounts. The tag covers discussions on how these exploits turn trusted security tools into attack vectors, the mechanics of link-wrapping abuse, and the resulting risks for Microsoft 365 users.
