A targeted credential-harvesting phishing campaign impersonated the UK Home Office with a one-page PDF attachment that contained a single live "Complete upgrade" button linking to an HTML page hosted in a Contabo EU object-storage bucket; the PDF had no scripts or embedded malware but used visual GOV.UK branding and hollow footer links to bypass link-based filtering, was delivered to multiple mailboxes despite failed DKIM/DMARC, and produced IoCs including sender domain (mail.getalertinfo.com), sending IP (51.195.101.247), attachment hash (md5 bbaf9fcb24c94d85273239de7fc0531e), and the container URL.
