Just gotten this email from reddit (it doesnt look like a scam mail and its sent from noreply@reddit.com, and the link is for https://accounts.reddit.com/password
I havnt used reddit for like 2 weeks, and i have mfa enabled…
wtf is this??
Just delete your account, that way everything they send you is known garbage.
Not OP but I am still waiting for my data request from a few weeks ago!
I finally got mine the other day, so at least it’s real and you should get it eventually too
I actually never did that, I just used one of those plugins to purge my content. I probably should have, but also every time I have done that for other social media, I never went back to look at it anyway.
I don’t see an email. Did you forget to post it?
hmm… pretty sure i posted it. I’ve tried to attach it to this reply
I can see it on kbin.social but not on lemmy. I’ll post it here:
It happened to me last year or something. Reset your password and it’ll be fine. It was probably leaked.
Or do the smart thing and stay here instead. :)
As a general rule of precaution, don’t follow links in the email. Instead go to the website directly, maybe from a private or incognito instance, and reset it directly. If the email is valid, you’re doing the same thing and if it wasn’t you aren’t drawing attention to anyone else.
I have a few accounts that know my email and I didn’t get such a message.
Maybe data leak somewhere?
