Security researchers are warning about a new wave of phishing campaigns that exploit legitimate email notification systems. Fraudsters have figured out how to abuse workflow automation tools to send emails that appear to come from trusted sources, making them harder to spot.

The attacks use real email addresses and authentic-looking templates, which is what makes them particularly dangerous. Instead of relying on obvious red flags, these campaigns mimic genuine security alerts—exactly the kind of message you'd expect during a real account breach.

If you're active in crypto or trading, you're probably used to getting account notifications. This is precisely why scammers target this audience. The next time you receive an unexpected email asking you to verify credentials or confirm unusual activity, take a breath and verify directly through official channels. Don't click links in the email itself. Go directly to the platform's website through your browser.

The key warning sign? Legitimate platforms won't ask you to confirm sensitive information via email. Stay vigilant.
