A phishing campaign targeting marketing professionals impersonates major brands like Coca-Cola, Netflix, OpenAI, and FIFA to steal Google credentials. Discovered by Team Cymru's Will Thomas, the campaign sends convincing job recruitment emails via legitimate HR platform PeopleForce. Victims are routed through nested redirects — passing through Salesforce's ExactTarget and Wise Agent CRM — before landing on a Netlify-hosted phishing site. The final page uses a browser-in-the-browser (BitB) technique to display a fake Google sign-in popup. Over 30 malicious domains impersonating corporate brands have been identified. Defenders are advised to deploy advanced web filtering beyond reputation-based tools and use password managers, which won't autofill credentials on spoofed sites.
