link wrapping

About this tag
Link wrapping is a security feature used by email vendors like Proofpoint and Intermedia to rewrite URLs for threat inspection. However, recent phishing campaigns have exploited these trusted link-wrapping services to cloak malicious links and bypass email defenses, targeting Microsoft 365 users. Attackers leverage the reputation of legitimate security infrastructure to deliver credential-harvesting pages, turning a protective measure into an attack vector. This tag covers discussions on how link wrapping is weaponized in advanced phishing, the role of multi-layer redirects, and strategies to defend against such exploits in enterprise environments.
