The approach is to trick the recipient of the email to click on [Listen to Voice Message Here] link. It will open to a web page with another DOWNLOAD link. And if the user click on the DOWNLOAD link, it will ask you to enter your Office 365 credentials.
The main objective of this phishing email is to get your username and password.
A friendly reminder, always access your Office 365 using the official website e.g. https://Office365.com or your organization website.
Enable the Two-Factor Authentication if you haven’t use it. This will minimize your account being compromised.
