Spearfishing Done Very Well
It claimed to be from Fidelity where my IRA keeps me very well off. It listed a recent transaction of sales of small quantities of mutual funds. Once the panic subside, but after hitting the View This Order button, I realized that many of those mutual funds are not in my portfolio. Fortunately, I could not remember my password. By this point I had noticed the domain was fidelitymanagement.com. Fidelity has 401k.com for their domain. Nothing lost, but read carefully panic-inducing emails and make sure the domain you are going to is actually for your institution.
fidelitymanagement.com currently resolves to the IP 0.0.0.0. I guess the good guys got on this pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteAlso--if you're concerned, don't click links in emails like this--go type the (right) address into the address bar yourself and then go to "my orders" or whatever page is relevant.
