I got two emails today claiming to be from gawker, telling me to change my password.
Both were phishing emails that pointed to a domain in China and another in India. These guys move fast
- ra 16y agoI got a seemingly genuine email from Gawker entitled, "Gawker Comment Accounts Compromised -- Important" Although I don't believe my email address was in the dump.
- mattmillr 16y agoI got that as well. I'm certain my email isn't in the dump (downloaded the torrent to double- and triple-check). I thought is was strange they used a URL shortener with an uncommon TLD (.kr) to point to the FAQ lifehacker. Seems you'd want to be as unsuspicious as possible in this situation.
- ra 16y agoActually I just realised that while my email wasn't in the dump, my username was. I didn't find it myself with grep, but I did find it using this utility: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1999373 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1999373
