Phishing emails that include a link to receive a message allegedly from “Chai Urgent Care” have been reported by several Lakewood residents.

Chai Care has locations in several states in the metropolitan area. There are local offices in Jackson, Freehold in addition to Lakewood. Note that these emails do not come from any Chai Urgent Care location. The hackers are targeting end users and not Chai Urgent Care Systems.

The link leads to a website requesting the user to download a “message[.]html” document attachment. Once the user clicks on the attachment, a separate website loads that impersonates a Microsoft login screen and prompts the user to enter their account credentials to view the document. Clicking any other links on the page just redirects back to refresh the website.

When the website loads, various actions are performed such as attempting what is known as a process injection as well as sending compromised personal information to malicious websites, including information about the users’ device. The threat actors behind the campaign steal any submitted credentials for use in subsequent malicious activity.

If you receive such an email, do not click anywhere and delete it immediately.

UPDATE: Chai Care released the following statement to TLS:
