Mass phishing emails pretending to be Y Combinator right now
4 by Tremeschin | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Just received quite a smart phishing email/notification coming from "GitHub" by a user created less than a week ago (1) which is currently creating multiple issues a minute tagging many random usernames in a repository (2) with a "ycombinatornotify" app (3), the usual, asking to verify wallets, deposit for authorization. All issues contains the content of the email received, so I'll not paste them here (they're gone, but still, a bad idea to paste it). - (3m in) They seem to have been rate limited or reached a target of 500 issues - (5m in) Repository was just taken down, hope they automate back a warning Quite urgent actions are needed to stop it, or warn the affected. Will update the submission with more information as time goes. - [1]: https://ift.tt/YLfbaEl - [2]: https://ift.tt/lW82vDM - [3]: https://ift.tt/CgtQ481
