Possible phishing email

[Brassneck]

Just confirmed with Sedo this is a spoof email please ignore if you have had one

To me it looked genuine but possibly sent out by mistake. I notice the Sedo rep is viewing the thread so would be good to hear something official.

Yeah I just assumed it was a mistake Sedo's end given the URL in the e-mail was actually Sedo .co.uk and not some masked phishing attempt.

Come on Sedo, own up, did someone balls something up at HQ?

Just got this from Sedo:

We wish to inform you that on Saturday, 12th April, the Sedo website was compromised by an unknown intruder through a previously unknown security loophole. This resulted in an unauthorised email with the subject “Confirm your Sedo Account" being sent to a small number of our customers.

Our immediate investigation into the matter has shown that your email address was unfortunately one of those affected. That means that the intruder has got your email address only. NO other data has been compromised, i.e. no passwords or other account information was obtained. The security vulnerability was closed as soon as it was detected and any further unauthorised access was successfully prevented. This means that your Sedo account is safe, and you do not need to take any action to safeguard data stored in your account. Clicking on the link in the unauthorised email has no adverse effects.
If you have any questions we will be happy to help you. Please contact your account manager or visit our customer support center at http://support.sedo.com.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may has caused.

Best regards,

Thanks for nothing Sedo, I look forward to the extra spam now that my email address is in the intruder's hands!

Could have been a hell of a lot worse. They could have used our access creds to bid on acorn domainer portfolios
