Is this a phishing attack or genuine?

Posted on by 5

We received this email on one of our email addresses.

It looks like a phishing attack – the grammar is awful and the hyperlink underneath the “My Account” button looks dangerous.

Please confirm whether this is legitimate or bogus.

Thank you,

    Hi! Sure, it is! Due to definition of it:

    The most common phishing scenario takes the shape of malicious emails sent to individuals mimicking an authentic organization. Also known as spam phishing, this kind of attack lets the cybercriminal get access to a large number of customers registered on a site. So phishing emails are often sent en masse. There is a high possibility of success since some individuals out of the lot will often fall prey. Sourse

    So, as you see. Take care!
