Can a "Svc.Dynamics.com" link be used as a redirection link in a phishing e-mail?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 14

A colleague in my Federal agency received what LOOKS like a fairly primitive phishing e-mail (bad grammar, typical "your account is locked" scenario, etc.) where the phishing link is:

 

2892315232e342469ddd8529ecaed302.svc.dynamics[.]com/t/r/j0E6fiLhB7S4xTp0ybo43HjtIBvAo-7uG5kVQL5Cbvg#e___.webmaster@___.gov:489944848849949930-3993=3-00399e883930wwwwwww   (Square brackets added to prevent accidental clicking, and underscores anonymize the recipient.)

From what I can tell (not actually being a Dynamics user), "svc.dynamics.com" is a legitimate, non-malicious domain.  But I'm wondering if the behavior of Dynamics (or Svc.Dynamics) is such that a malicious actor can use this type of apparently legitimate link to redirect a "clicker" to a malicious destination?

 

Thanks.

Randy Steer.

    Ok, so to answer your question, YES the svc.dynamics.com links can be used to redirect to Microsoft Sharepoint servers, apperantly even hosted by 3rd party or even self hosted Sharepoint servers and from there well the sky's the limit.

    The link can be disguised

    Hi Randy,

    As mentioned, it looks like the link is coming from Dynamics 365 Marketing.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../using-events-api

    This could be legitimate and someone was sent it by mistake but this really isn’t related to Dynamics Fraud Protection.

    Here is the Dynamics Marketing forum:

    community.dynamics.com/.../dynamics-365-for-marketing-forum

    Hopefully this helps.

    OK, so which Dynamics support forum would know enough about how the product works to be able to say if a "svc.dynamics.com" URL can redirect or forward someone to another website?  

    As I said, I don't use use Dynamics, I just provide cybersecurity advice to my organization, but that doesn't seem like it should be a difficult question for Dynamics users or support to answer.

    Thanks.

    Hi Randy,

    This is not something that the Fraud Protection team would be able to answer.

    Please see the below in regard to Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection:

    cloudblogs.microsoft.com/.../

    It looks like the link is coming from Dynamics 365 Marketing.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/developer/using-events-api

    This could be legitimate and someone was sent it by mistake but this really isn’t related to Dynamics Fraud Protection.

    This should be redirected to the Windows Security team.

    Thanks in advance.
