Phishing Mails

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.

I've gotten an email like this before for lemdro.id. I think it's a generic phishing email since the community links look like email addresses (and actually often are)

Heya Cole, yeah I think it was a pretty generic fishing attempt. But we just wanted to get the word out. Normally Lemmy users are quite tech savvy but you never know. Cheers!

Yeah no worries, all I'm saying is it's a silly phishing attempt since it is only emailing admins!
