Next Gen Phishing - Leveraging Azure Information Protection

This blog post demonstrates how an attacker can abuse Azure Information Protection (AIP) / Azure RMS to harden phishing emails and attachments against sandboxing and inspection by encrypting content and restricting access to only the intended recipient. The author provides a step-by-step walkthrough to configure a phishing domain and AIP-protected documents, shows how AIP prevents previews and analysis, describes tracking and revocation features, highlights forensic artifacts to inspect, and offers defensive recommendations such as quarantining AIP-protected inbound mail or improving user awareness.
