Specifically, this person discovered a vulnerability that makes emails from scammers more difficult to detect.

According to Kokorin, the scammer spoofed the letters as being from Microsoft by using an email address ending in “@microsoft.com.” In a post on his personal page, Kokorin mentioned that he received a letter with the address security@microsoft.com - an email address that is said to belong to Microsoft's security department.

At first glance, this appears to be a legitimate email address, and these emails are often sent with content asking users to increase the security of their devices by clicking on an attached link.

In fact, these are links to websites containing malicious code, allowing scammers to take control of the device and steal the victim's data and information.

Kokorin said he reported the issue to Microsoft, and the company said it was aware of the issue and was working to fix the remaining vulnerabilities in its system.

In the face of the current scam situation, the Information Security Department recommends that email users be vigilant. Absolutely do not click on strange links, do not provide personal information to websites of unknown origin. When receiving such fake messages, users need to verify by contacting the company that the sender represents via phone number or official electronic information portal.
