# Phishing attack uses compromised SendGrid accounts to target additional users

**[CSO Online](https://daily.dev/sources/csoonline)** · 3 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Attackers have compromised SendGrid accounts to launch phishing attacks against other SendGrid customers. The phishing emails mask the malicious links using SendGrid's click-tracking feature. The phishing pages validate credentials and 2FA codes in real-time, making it harder for users to detect the fake pages.
