It appears the phishing email attempted to target the fact that he was in a more heightened state of being 'security aware' at the time by offering him a way to make his Squarespace site more secure! The contents of the email based on a screenshot in the article -
in light of recent security issues surrounding SSL, Squarespace is taking the initiative to make our services more secure! We've made a number of change to our editor that will require changes to your local SSL certificates. Please visit http://squarespace.com/certificates http://squarespace.com/certificates for instructions on how to take advantage of our strongest security offering ever."
Also noted was the domain was one character different from the real one.
Tricky!
