Fake party invites are driving phishing scams

28 September 2026 · Source: wired.com

A growing phishing scam is sending people unexpected party invitations that appear to come from familiar services like Evite or Paperless Post. The messages try to get recipients to sign in, share a password, or enter a phone number and code to view event details, and some people have been tricked into checking with old contacts after receiving them. For businesses, this kind of scam can expose employee accounts, contacts, and company email systems to fraud and impersonation. Sender Registry helps by making suspicious messages easier to spot before staff respond, reducing the chance that a fake invite turns into a security incident or a wider scam.
