Anyone else get spam with Legend Numismatics in the title of the email?

FredFFredF Posts: 526 ✭✭✭

Just got what looks like a phishing scam - the subject of the email is: [Legend Numismatics] Notice of Password Change. The body is a very poorly written email saying

Hi webtechb, This notice confirms your password was changed on Legend Numismatics.

If you did not change your password, please contact the Site Administrator at
support@studio98.com

This email has been sent to (my email address)

Regards,
All at Legend Numismatics
http://68.xxx.xxx.xx

Replace the url at the end with a numeric dot address.

I do have an account at Legend, and I did (just to be safe) change my password, but did it via the Legend site itself, not clicking anything in that email.

Got this email about 3 hours ago. Got 2 identical emails actually.

    We do NOT phish. I am forwarding this to my team. Something sounds very wrong here.

    If you give me an address @legend - I can forward the email to it so you can see - I don't know if there's anything useful in it for you other than the dot address I masked out.

    @FredF,

    Do not delete the PHISHING email. Also, it helps if you can extract the full SMTP headers for it. That will contain useful forensic information. Simply forwarding the email without the full SMTP headers will not be helpful.

    My guess would be a phishing email made to look like it was from Legend then made to look like studio98 was the one doing the phishing. Legend & studio98 are victims also and have no idea or participation. Hackers cover their tracks in many ways and most will lead to a dead end.

    You were very smart not to click on anything in the email. Always go to the known safe site.

    My guess is that his computer and email have been compromised with malware, and after seeing his browsing history, it chose a site that he frequents.

    @cameonut - Hadn't been to Legend's site in months if not longer. Haven't been to this forum in eons; only showed up because I got this spam and wanted people to know. My concern is if someone got an email list from legend somehow.

    Note that this one actually said that my email address had changed (it hadn't) and the other one I got said my password had changed. It's clearly looking like someone's trying to freak people out a bit and get them to click - but it's a really poor email and because the lack of DKIM and other stuff, Outlook.com easily flagged it as phishing attempt.

    Thanks for the alert... I get phishing emails all the time.. and scam emails (Please help me move $25 million dollars etc.)... I never respond or click on them.... usually get about five or six a week...Cheers, RickO

    There is nothing in this thread for you to apologize for. You cannot control bad actors.

  • specialistspecialist Posts: 956 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I can confirm all customer info is safe and secure. They still do not have an answer.

    I understand nothing about the situation. I just wanted it fixed asap.

  • BStrauss3BStrauss3 Posts: 3,107 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I doubt the target was your Legend account, that's just the hook (think for a sec how you would convert a compromised Legend account into cash?). I'm betting the target was the URL they wanted you to click on.

    That IP address resolved to Digital Ocean's Northeast US data center. There is no DNS on that address. DO is a reputable company, you might consider contacting them at https://www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/#abuse

    Legend is obviously having a website overhaul and it was a mishap on their transition.

    I saw this earlier (we own a military defense company and I do security) but it wasn’t my business to say anything. Since they announced the change I don’t mind speaking up (NOT on their behalf).

    By the way. I like the new sites layout of inventory.
