fishing mail to github mail address

Post by abma »

I recently got some fishing mail with some Trojan attachment:

"Hey. I found your software is online. Can you write the code for my project? Terms of reference attached below.
The price shall discuss, if you can make. Answer please."

for the curious, did some other dev got such or a similar mail to his address?

attached was this: https://virustotal.com/de/file/2a5d4ad4 ... 485516593/

it seems they crawled the emailaddress from github.

I think you should contact GitHub about the phishing attempts.

IMO they can basicly do nothing against this... i'm just curious if others got such mails, too.

I've got a very similar mail, too. If not exactly similar.
