  • Back again. This time it's my fuckup.

    I got an email that appeared to be from a someone I worked with from their company address sharing a file via sharepoint.
    https://jnscorp-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/ [surname_company] /EQm01HYobrtOgAM53jhoHzcBnN7a7yaurExlelbGCLl11w?e=4%3acSyVfS&at=9

    It then gave me a verification code and showed me a document that was blurred out with a link. When I clicked on it it asked me to login with my outlook/sharepoint/etc account which didn't work so I tried a few passwords then tried to set up a new account with the email it went to.

    What should I do?

    1. change any passwords using the ones I typed in.
    2. run an antivirus on my laptop

    Anything else?

    I'm also having a hard time remembering exactly what I did as ultimately I was just trying to open/view a document so was just focusing on getting that done.

    Pretty pissed off. I only opened the document because I was going to message the person's boss about a reference and mistakenly thought I must have and this person was sending the email. Literally any other time I'd have known it was dodgy. Only upside I guess is that I used my "online birthday" instead of my real one... not much comfort.

  • Yes, change passwords as soon as you can.

    Edit - this should include the email account that you received the email to, if different to your outlook/sharepoint account.

    Edit 2 - is there a ‘log out of all sessions’ option for outlook? Once you’ve changed password, and signed in again, do the log out everywhere option.

  • Review whether the account has granted any third party access to anything.

    Review your sent email to see if there is anything unexpected.
