On Friday we reported some issues around phishing attempts against mail2web.com users. The phishing scam requested that mail2web.com users email their username and password to a websupport@mail2webmaster.com.
We have now received further reports of phishing emails sent that appear to be from “info@mail2web.com”. The email indicates that your account has been deactivated and asks you to run an attached utility in order to restore your mailbox. The attached file is in fact a malware utility which may be used to compromise your account.
As before, we recommend that all mail2web.com users exercise extreme caution when it comes to such suspicious notification emails. We will never ask you to send us your password, and we will never instruct you to run such a utility to restore your account.
If you receive any emails of this nature, please err on the side of caution and report it to abuse@mail2web.com or contact us at 1-877-MAIL2WEB before following any instructions.
If you have fallen victim to one of these phishing attempts, please contact us for further assistance.
