A new phishing campaign is exploiting Google Drawings and WhatsApp’s shortened links to deceive users and steal sensitive data. Cybersecurity researchers, including Menlo Security's Ashwin Vamshi, revealed that attackers are using these trusted platforms to craft fake Amazon account verification pages.

The scheme begins with a phishing email directing users to a Google Drawings graphic containing a link to a fake Amazon login page. This page, obscured by multiple URL shorteners, captures login credentials and personal details before redirecting users to the genuine Amazon site. The phishing page is then rendered inaccessible from the same IP to avoid detection. This tactic showcases the evolving sophistication of cyber threats and the need for heightened user vigilance.
