Youtube Phishing Email
youtube phishing email
I received this email a few days ago. At first I thought it’s genuine, as the sender email address as well as the link URL are from and to the right domain: youtube.com.
But the truth is a different thing. Sender address can be anything the sender wants it to be, so it doesn’t hold much to tell a phishing email. It’s the link that reveals it all.
In the email body, it says that your message was not delivered, and that you have sent the maximum number of messages per day. A link with an anchor text mimmicking a youtube ticket support page but with an actual link going to a different domain – in this case, click-on.hu – tells that this is a phishing email.
Is it dangeruous?

As far as my experiment goes, this link is not harmful. It just wants traffic to it’s landing page or some sales letter. No harm done to our computer, or our private and confidential information. As you can see in the image, a redirection I’ve got (you might have yet different ones) is one that goes to pharmacytabshealth.net.
