This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our info@lemmy.world mail address telling that they are “lemmy.world Security Team”, telling that they will “disconnect” your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.
~Lemmy World Team.
Hey, quick question. I’m assuming these emails are automated, so how do they know your account’s email? Is this part of a leak or are they sending email via “send notification to email” option in lemmy?
There are some commonly used emails by most domain owners, like: info, webmaster, security, reports, sales, etc. Some people also set their email with a catch-all address, so if someone sends an email to “cat.in.tights”, they’ll get it too.
how do you know it’s not from the secret second mod team?
That’s absolutely hilarious. It’s like people don’t know how Lemmy works
Thanks for the heads up!
Hello, it is I, John Security. Please respond to this message with your name and SSN or the FBI will arrest you for unpaid back taxes. Also, do you have any iTunes or Google play gift cards laying around?
Don’t forget! Lemmy automatically detects and blocks sensitive information so it’s totally safe to enter your SSN:
###-##-####
See! It works!
