This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our [email protected] 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.

    This is the story how my Steam account got hacked:

    I was talking to a friend of mine at a party and I just bought a new game (forgot which one). He told me that he thought about buying the game as well and asked if I could let him try it out one time. I said “sure, just message me and you can log into my account and test it”. 2 days later, he wrote me on steam asking for my login data and I thought nothing of it since we spoke about it in person, so I gave him the info. Turned out, his account got hacked and the intruder basically got a two for one special by just asking lol

    Steam support rectified the situation and didn’t even scold me for sharing my account which is clearly a violation of their ToS.
