Adobe Acrobat Sign Phishing Emails Continue to Target Businesses

The Growing Threat

What’s Going On?

Security researchers are warning about phishing campaigns that impersonate Adobe Acrobat Sign. These emails claim you have a document waiting for review or signature and are designed to steal login credentials or deliver malware.

Because Adobe Sign is widely used in business environments, these emails often appear normal and trustworthy. Many users are accustomed to receiving contracts, invoices, and shared documents through Adobe services, which makes the phishing attempt more convincing.

How It Works:

1. You receive an email claiming a document requires your signature or review.
2. The email appears to come from Adobe Acrobat Sign.
3. The message includes a “Review and Sign” or “Open Document” button.
4. The link redirects you to a fake login page or malicious website.
5. If you enter your credentials, attackers capture them immediately.

Why It Is Dangerous:

• You cannot see the destination of a QR code before scanning it
• Many people trust QR codes more than links
• The attack often moves you to your phone, which may not have the same protections as your computer
• Once your credentials are stolen, attackers can access your email, files, and company systems
