I've recently been getting some emails that look

To-infinitive

and the text reads like something from a YouTube email

and the link to click on to confirm my account

The text of the link, certainly is a youtube.com address.

but the website the link goes to when you click on it

Now, most people know that you can put a link to any

but this phishing attack is maliciously taking advantage

of the fact that, typically when you paste a link into an

email, it automatically just links to that link.

So, we've all habituated to think that if we see a link and

click on it. We're going to that address.

but the URL definitely isn't and if you clicked on the link

without looking carefully and didn't pay attention to the address

you might even try to log into this fake Google login

because you just gave your Gmail YouTube login away to a malicious stranger

If anyone watching this video is clever enough to

figure out, exactly what these attack sites do

Perhaps you could send out a message to all

of you users, warning of attack sites like this

but for now, just know that if you see an email

that looks like it's from YouTube asking you
