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.
Isnβt it a waste of time trying these scams on lemmy.
I could be wrong here but I would argue the vast majority of users are somewhat tech proficient since itβs not reached mass adoption and the user base is well, just us nerds?
Tech folks still fall for phishing. It takes a momentary lapse, failure to caffeinate, it happens.
Lemmy is currently full of newly registered domains with weird suffixes, the kind that traditionally have been a phishing indicator. Lemmy.world is going to be harder to phish than some of the other ones where you have to read closely.
I guess hubris can be a factor too.
I'm not "ignoring your emails" and "never responding", I'm just security conscious
