Avanan’s research team recently discovered a new phishing attack in the wild that involves sending an email with malformed URLs to bypass the URL protection and rewriting features of email security solutions.

Harmony provides complete protection against this attack, while other vendors, namely Microsoft Defender and Proofpoint, expose the end user to the malicious links
Since the links have not been secured, the user then goes straight to the phishing/malicious site when using MS Office Defender or Proofpoint to secure his mailbox.
