Not sure if i got this one but any email account i use in crypto gets pounded hard 24/7.
I just checked and have misc 85 attempts.

They never get looked at and go to junk then get auto deleted.
I check the account i use here on the forum no more than 1 time per year. Cheesy

Idiots can send all the shit they want i couldn't care less.

I also have gotten some far less frequently from the account i used on Cryptsy.
I like to use a specific account for certain sites.. so you can see where the bullshit originates from.
Like the name i registered at Cryptsy in 2013..
It was funny how a guy showed up on the Cryptsy lawsuit topic trolling me with it.
Then how Mullick figured it was a coincidence then vanished into hiding permanently.

Pools are bad for this shit too.

Use a bugmenot account guys LOL

It's probably the same as this: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/692cr4/new_google_docs_phishing_scam_almost_undetectable/

That is something different
This is a document file not Google docs

and stupidly, my friend clicked download on the file.
Fortunately i noticed in time before he put the password in it.

is it gonna do anything if it has been downloaded?
I deleted it instantly :/

You should be alright if all youve done is downloaded it. It looks like you would need to download it , open it with the password an dalso give it editing privileges to enable it to work. I havent even heard of anyone thats had an issue with it yet but its not to say they wont in the future.

I got the mail too.
I dont have an BTC-e account or use this e-mail in other places so it must come from here

This may be a good reminder:

Real link is green when you move your mouse over: bitcointalk forum (real link)

Fake link is not: bitcointalk forum (with different/fake link)

p.s. i am referring to the attempt that owlcatz mentioned not the email (obviously

)

Haven't seen one of these yet. Stuff like this is why I use Linux virtual machines for all my workspace! Snapshots are your friend.

I thought that I got this mail as a payment of one of the campaigns I have participated. I downloaded the attachment as well but since I don't have btc-e account, is it something I can do to now? I deleted the word doc file from my computer but my antivirus did not give me any alert.

This was the email I received: http://prntscr.com/f3cucm

If you used the password to unlock the attachment, consider your PC infected.

Keyloggers/coin stealers/and a bunch of other stuff could be running in the background.

Wipe your PC.

Start off with a fresh operating system.

Get your game girl

I can sort of establish a connection.The attacker is probably sending mails to coin collectors who are assumed to be having more bitcoins on them ? Lauda and Zepher is merely a case but it does connect the dots.

I can confirm i also got this email today as well and theres no other places ive used that email so its definitely from the hacked database.

There is a new wave of phishing scams in the past 24 hours - a few users have already been burnt over .3 btc -

Then the url looks just like bitcointalk and wants you to login... so this is new, ongoing - not good!!! I reported one yesterday as well and gave it red trust -

Thanks, and be careful out there - bitcointalk.org links will be green not blue!!! Sad

The btc-e DB has been hacked multiple times. I suspect the emails came from one of these hacks.

I have not registered on BTC-e with this username, nor this email. Therefore, it had to be from Bitcointalk considering that other BTCT users have been getting them as well.
