Fake Excel/Microsoft Link Spotted Stealing Info

A confirmed phishing link disguised to look like a legitimate site is actively trying to trick people into giving up personal information. Children or parents who click it could have passwords or account details stolen.

What to do: Do not click this link if you see it in any email, message, or social post, and remind your kids never to click unfamiliar links even if they look official.

What this means for your family

If you or your kids receive an email or message with a link that looks like it's from Microsoft or Excel, be extra careful—scammers are using fake versions to steal passwords and personal info. The safest rule: never click links in unexpected messages, and teach your children to ask you first if something seems official but feels off.
