Phishing Mails
(lemmy.world)
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.
I was curious too so I googled it:
https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/scam-baiter-jim-browning-bamboozled-by-scammers-into-deleting-his-own-youtube-channel/
From what I read, some scammer tricked him by impersonating YouTube Support and telling him he would lose all his adsense revenue, which prompted Browning to fall for it.
Yep that's him, I can never remember his name.
