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.
Why would they target Lemmy users?
Your typical Lemming (for lack of a better term) is not technologically inept and would generally not fall for a phishing scam. They'd earn a lot more money from targeting Redditors.
software devs and other highly technical IT roles fail phishing tests at my company

You're telling me I'm not a lemon?
Probably overreach of an automated system
Idiots are everywhere.
Attention! u/spez demands that you suckle upon his prostate like a thirsty little pig!
"OMG guys, ^ THIS!"
That's the right term
I'm guessing it's sent to anyone with a custom domain, rather than lemmy specifically.
Aren't people who use lemmy already or had used reddit I mean lemmy was brought out as an alternative to reddit which many people on reddit flocked to when spezy wezy started doing his you-know-wut
Plus I'm sure there's alot of people here whom won't be as informed about phishing emails
It's more like there's a technical barrier for using Lemmy (or any fediverse social media for that matter) and for actually giving a shit about Reddit's API policy.
There's a tendency for more tech-saavy people going to Lemmy.
Eh true
