OVERVIEW
This is the Trend Micro detection for phishing emails that pretend to be sent from a known or popular brand. The phishing email attempts to lure recipients to click the URL in the content or open the email attachment. Usually, clicking the URL redirects to a phishing landing site where the victim is asked to provide credentials to log in.
A typical phishing email pretends to be from brands such as logistic companies, financial organizations, or online services.
