What happenedAttackers are using fake OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic event pages to trick people into signing in with work accounts, then stealing their login sessions.
Who is affectedEmployees who use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts at work, and the businesses that rely on those accounts and connected apps.
What to do
  1. 1Do not sign in with a work account to register for an event or claim a free reward.
  2. 2Never type a Microsoft device code from an unfamiliar website into Microsoft's login page.
  3. 3Ask your IT team to block device code sign-in if your company does not need it.
  4. 4Switch to security keys (FIDO2), which resist session theft better than text or app codes.

Attackers are sending out fake invitations to events that appear to come from OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic. The pages promise free prizes, then ask people to sign in with their work account. Doing so can give the attackers access to that account, even when two-step login is turned on. Security firm Push Security reported the campaign, and it says it blocked visits to the fake pages in late October 2026.

What happened

The fake registration pages look like real event sites. One advertises an OpenAI event called "ChatGPT for Social & Digital Marketing Teams" and offers three months of ChatGPT Pro. Another claims to be a private SpaceX event on November 12 and offers three months of Grok Heavy or a "SpaceX share." A third, posing as an Anthropic event at AWS re:Invent 2026, has already been taken down.

Visitors first see a "Confirm you're not a robot" check. That step keeps automated security scanners from seeing the scam. Then the page says you must sign in with your work account to register and claim the reward.

How the trick works

The page offers two buttons: "Continue with Microsoft" and "Continue with Google." Each one uses a different method.

  • Microsoft: the page shows a code and tells you to enter it on Microsoft's real device login site. Approving it hands the attacker your sign-in access without needing your password.
  • Google: a pop-up shows a fake Google login that captures your session, the proof that you are already signed in.

Both methods get around two-step login. With the Microsoft code trick, that check is skipped entirely. With the Google trick, the attacker copies a login that has already passed it.

Why it matters

A stolen work session can open email, files and connected apps. The report lists Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Adobe, SAP, Slack, Zendesk and Atlassian as examples. One click on a prize offer could expose much of a person's workday, and a company's data with it.

Who can relax a little

People who never sign in to work accounts through links in invitations are in a much better position. The scam depends on that step. It is still unclear how the attackers first send out the links. Push Security found they use trusted link shorteners from Google and Zapier, so a familiar-looking link is not proof of safety. Earlier versions of this scam spread through GoTo Webinar emails and real Zoom event pages.

What to do

The steps in the alert box above cover what employees and IT teams should do now. The short version: a free prize is never a reason to use a work login.

The takeaway

Never use a work account to register for an event or claim a free reward, and never enter a Microsoft code from a site you do not know.
