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.

    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.

      Ah. so that “info@lemmy.world” is an email and this is not related to fediverse. Jus checked, there’s no such account here. No point in making an announcement about it here if its not related to fediverse and only gets sent to domain owners, imho. lol
