I complained to support about Outlook iOS doing this, not just for forwarding... but all received emails display only the name. I receive AppleID phishing attacks constantly to my old hotmail account, Microsoft helpfully sends all them to my inbox and Outlook shows them as from 'Apple' unless I click the sender name and then it shows something like totallynotlegit@paypalappleidscams.tk. Their link scanner is effective around 50% of the time. It's not good enough.
Microsoft does not consider this a bug or a threat in any way. I have been active about this on social media and have had my screenshots and complaints picked up by largish accounts like @swiftonsecurity.
At this point Microsoft is complicit with the phishers. Oh well, not the first time an entire industry thrived off their lack of security.
- toast0 7y agoThey do this on desktop Outlook as well. It's really great when you work at a company where two people have the same name, and you have to click seven buttons to see who sent the mail. Or you get added to a forward chain and you really can't tell.
