YouTube issued a warning for users
Recently, an email scam has prompted YouTube to issue a warning to its users. The popular video streaming platform cautioned users about an ongoing email phishing scam and posted a message on Twitter to alert them. The tweet read: “We have received reports of a phishing attempt with [email protected] as the sender. Please be careful and do not download or access any files if you receive this email…” The fraudulent email contains a video link claiming to provide information on changes to YouTube’s policies, with the description “Check the description.” If you receive this email, it is likely a scam.
For the uninitiated, phishing is a deceitful tactic that entails sending fraudulent emails that mimic communications from reputable companies or trustworthy sources, often in an attempt to obtain sensitive information like login credentials. The ultimate goal of phishing is to gain access to websites and personal data.
