This is the second such email I have received recently. Seems legit but I don't recognize the domain in the link to sign, and it seems like the people who make Firefox would know that the people who use Firefox would be hesitant to click. IDGI. Anyone else getting these?

Edit 2024-04-10: Got a new email today and it appears all the links now go to links dot mozilla dot org. I won't flatter myself that this post had anything to do with that, but maybe the same thought occurred to someone at Mozilla. Nice. ✌️

Steve? Is that you?

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends on who's asking. Does he owe you money?

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope, but he runs a great podcast

Oh yeah, sorry. I am not the GRC/Shields Up guy, unless you owe him money. 😆

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 7 months ago

I just owe him my gratitude and have some questions for him.

I get the feeling this is not the kind of question that particular Steve Gibson would be asking 😛

Unless he has a method of verifying the authenticity of unencrypted emails such as this one that literally no one else has, I don't see why he wouldn't be asking the same question. Also, I'm better looking.

Edit: For clarity
