DKIM Sig.png


Always check the signed by. Once again, this site will never send out an email to notify anyone of a wallet update. The phishing email was not sent from this server. The above picture shows a legitimate email and signature. Below is the legitimate email source. Note: that this site's actual email address is : [email protected] Very important to notice the ".org".

Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates 2a00:1450:400c:c00::234 as permitted sender) client-ip=2a00:1450:400c:c00::234;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
spf=pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates 2a00:1450:400c:c00::234 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=[email protected];

Since the infected binary was hosted on Dropbox, I emailed Dropbox and asked them to remove the file. They replied:

The email you are reporting is fake and not sent by Dropbox. It contains a link to a file hosted by a Dropbox user, but that file is either spam, malware, or a "phishing" page. Dropbox has disabled the link and banned the user.

In the future, you can email [email protected] with this type of information.

If you receive fake email that includes links to dropbox.com URLs (or dropboxusercontent.com) then please forward the entire email, with complete links, to [email protected]. Screenshots or copy/pasted emails do not contain the information we need to proceed. Just forward the complete email to [email protected]. There is no need to add any comments. You will not receive a reply but the links will be analyzed and taken down in a timely fashion.
So FYI, we can report Dropbox-hosted malicious files and they will both remove the link and ban the user!
