Phishing Mails
(lemmy.world)
This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our info@lemmy.world mail address telling that they are "lemmy.world Security Team", telling that they will "disconnect" your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.
~Lemmy World Team.
Why would they target Lemmy users?
Your typical Lemming (for lack of a better term) is not technologically inept and would generally not fall for a phishing scam. They'd earn a lot more money from targeting Redditors.

"OMG guys, ^ THIS!"
idk i like "lemming"
You're telling me I'm not a lemon?
Probably overreach of an automated system
I'm guessing it's sent to anyone with a custom domain, rather than lemmy specifically.
It's more like there's a technical barrier for using Lemmy (or any fediverse social media for that matter) and for actually giving a shit about Reddit's API policy.
There's a tendency for more tech-saavy people going to Lemmy.
