Citibank Security Team—Multiple computers have attempted to log into your account
Interesting... these people sent an email with two links one of which does not correspond at all to its label. I suppose most people do not notice these problems before clicking. And as usual, the emails includes URLs to non-secure pages (http instead of https) and the URLs start with numbers (the IP address here was: 81.113.212.146). Finally, that's the wrong URL for access to citibank. He! He! He!
Also the HTML is quite bad. I left the closing body found at the beginning since I find that quite funny... He! He! He!
So? What else? The subject line is rather weird, never got one
like that from my bank... But look at the To: line. Ho! Yeah!
undisclosed-recipients;
. Thus my bank sends me a
message as bulk email. In other words they sent that to many
other people I'd guess. It's probably because there are many
people like me who just got their account tempered. Wharf!
