Webmail Update Required Phishing Scam
An urgent task you must complete asap, but do you. Webmail is provided on your mail server and any updates can be implemented without any action on your part. This has all the appearance of being a phishing scam to steal your email login details to access your email account...
E-Mail received:
Date: No date
From: [Your Account name] cPanel noreply@[your email domain]
To: [Name and email address redacted]
Subject: URGENT: Immediate Webmail Update Required to Prevent Access Loss.
Notes: An email address on your domain name has been spoofed. The click through webaddress is: https://tinyurl.com/bababluwe#[your email address]. Use is made of the Tinyurl url shortening service to hide the target web address.
Recommendation:
Just delete the e-mail, don't click on any links.
