PHishing
« on: April 01, 2010, 06:55:22 PM »
Hello,

I'm new to the forums but I've been a loyal Rockbox user for a long time now.

I finally decided to register on the RockBox forums and I have something interesting to report.

I have a nice quiet professional IMAP email which I typically use only for business.  I decided to use this email to register on the forums a few minutes ago.

At the exact moment that I hit the submit button, both my Rockbox password confirmation email thingy and a phishing email claiming to be UPS with a trojan inside hit my box.

Because the receive time was the same exact second in the log, I have suspicion to believe that maybe it's possible that someone is somehow leeching registration data from users.

I can guarantee that my PC is clean and I can also attest that my little private email only receives about 2 or 3 emails a week so this is highly unusual.  I have a great firewall and surf the web sandboxed most of the time.


Anyhow I thought I would report it like a good forum member.



If the administration wishes I can send the email to be examined.

Otherwise, have a nice day.  I'm headed over to the feature thread to complete my mission.

I just registered a new account to a virgin (and unfiltered) email account.
Nothing arrived except the Rockbox confirmation email.
