Try from the incognito windows in your browser the image should not show up since no cookies are being sent in the incognito window.
- zaroth 10y agoI use fresh incognito tabs constantly. So I guess I'll never see the image, and never know something is amiss. By I also never click an email link to login unless it's a plain text password reset. I receive authentic looking and topical Dropbox share requests from actual contacts (who have been hacked) trying to phish my Dropbox credentials maybe 4-5 times a year so I'm always on the lookout for it. This is a classic attack. Always check the URL!
