Just received a mail from mailbox.org(g-maier-oberahrain@mnet-mail.de)
Need Answer
The mail stated that (in German, had to translate) that I was running out of storage space for one of my aliases and it was addressed to that alias. With a button with the text "speicher verwalten". Did not press the button, but logged in through webbrowser to my account and I'm using 33mb of 2gb. Is this a fishing mail?
No connection

Sure. Phishing, what else!

Then this can serve as a warning for the next

Sorry, someone who can't identify this e-mail as phishing shouldn't use a computer without supervision. :-)

Well, many platforms and even mailbox/this forum has mail notifications that look similar. The whole point about fishing and spear-fishing is that it should look authentic or normal. I never press links in any email if I can avoid it. But in some cases there is no way to manually navigate to the destination without said link. To just say if someone can't identify a fishing mail, shouln't use a computer unsupervised, just makes you sound like an asshole. Fishing is a very successfull way of accessing credentials because some of them are really good at looking like the real thing. In some cases they even spoof the sender adress to be a trusted sender, like for example a person inside your own organisation. And if you regularly have to re authenticate sessions or jump on meetings where you have to log on to different onetime meeting room. Good luck identifying that one fishing mail coming from an email address that is a customers domain, with a teams link.
