This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our info@lemmy.world mail address telling that they are β€œlemmy.world Security Team”, telling that they will β€œdisconnect” your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.

How do you guys know it’s not you guys?

Joke aside, i wonder why they wanna phish for user account in lemmy? Unlike the exploit like a few months ago that specifically target admin, this one seems like it target anyone, it so random.

Awesome because of the way it’s written it’s practically guaranteed that admins will know it’s a scam.
