The fake email, which claims the recipients to need to migrate to the new 2018 Microsoft Outlook Web portal, is being sent by cybercriminals. Therefore, recipients of the same email are asked not to click the link or follow the instructions in it.

Also, after signing in, they will be notified of important updates or changes.
