Hi!

I'd like to note that I've received a phishing attempt (or so I suspect; if it's a real message, please confirm, Mike) from someone claiming to be a usual contributor.

The message contained a compressed file, which for obvious reasons I won't open (I can forward it if anyone wants to see it).

This is a reminder to be aware that people are doing these things, and that I'd very much prefer to see PGP-signed email, especially from frequent contributors.

Have a lovely day!
Alex

Hi Mike,

I just learnt you had a gmail account (first email I receive from that address), and also just learnt you don't have a @gentoo address anymore.

Could you confirm whether that mail from you is authentic? (And if possible, it would be ideal if it were done in a signed email.)

Have a lovely night!
Alex
