Microsoft OneDrive Has 60% Jump in Hosting of Malicious Files

While cybercriminals have abused the service in the past to host their phishing attacks, researchers from FireEye noticed a dramatic increase lately, compared to the last quarter of 2018. “Attackers find these well-known and trusted sites useful because they bypass initial domain reputation checks performed by security engines,” FireEye researchers explain in the company’s email threat report for the three months of the year. Their statistics reveal that 58% of the phishing websites detected this year were using the secure HTTP protocol; this is 12% less than what the company saw in the previous quarter.
