I've always received legit emails from Maybank indicating that funds has been transferred to my account via m2u@maybank.com.my
Today I received another email from this address asking me to review my account with a PDF attached to it (of course I didn't click on the link).

I suppose something has gone wrong somewhere, outlook failed to detect it as a spam/phishing email. It appeared in my focused inbox like usual.
You might want to warn those around you as those who are not tech-savvy might fall for it. Either way, I've forwarded the email to Maybank's phishing reporting department.

Check the header. Most likely relayed through reputable SMTP providers hence it didn't end up in spam.

Ya that seems like the case
But from our end there's nothing much we can do, can't even blacklist the email address but take extra precaution not to click on anything suspicious

well technically u can still blacklist it but you won't be receiving those transaction related emails
