This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our [email protected] 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.
I got an almost believable phishing text yesterday from a ‘collection agency’ that wanted me to download a PDF and go to their website. It looked very official and I’m having some debt issues, but it didn’t tell me who it was representing or what I owed or anything like that, so I could tell it was phishing. But a less-savvy person could have totally been fooled by it because it looked very real.
I got a spam message that was surprisingly well written until I realized wait a minute, if this is true, why do you need me to tell you who I am?
It’s especially bad if you are half asleep and panic click on something, especially with session hijacking
