Email Quarantine (You have 2 pending incoming messages)

Phish Bowl Alerts

A phony email quarantine notification, meant to arouse curiosity, provides plenty of links to click, all of which point to the same malicious URL (after checking it at VirusTotal.com). Though the table is nicely formatted, it doesn't include any official software identifier (such as Google, Microsoft, or Proofpoint), but it does have a grammatical error.
