Multi‑Layer Redirect Phishing Technique

Meni Tasa Season 1 Episode 7

"Send me a quick text"

In this episode, we break down a clever phishing technique that hides malicious links behind multiple layers of trusted redirects. 

By combining public link shorteners like Bitly with security services such as Proofpoint's link wrapping, attackers create a chain that looks safe at every step — until it leads to a fake Microsoft 365 login. Learn how this method works, why it fools both people and defenses, and what it teaches us about turning trust into camouflage.
