The FBI Just Issued an Urgent Warning About a New Phishing Kit Targeting Microsoft 365 — And Healthcare Is Already in the Crosshairs

Kali365 doesn’t steal your password. It gets you to hand over the keys willingly — and healthcare staff are the ideal target.

A new phishing toolkit called Kali365 is circulating among low-sophistication threat actors, and the FBI has issued an advisory warning that it has already been used against healthcare organizations.
