Well blizzard and battle.net is targers for fishing today. I just got another phishing attempt.
This time my battle.net account has changed email adress from my old one to a new one and as a “security” feature ther are sending out an email verifying that its ok. HOw nice of them. If I have had a battle.net account.
Here is the email. Again with the addresses in text.
Hello,
Blizzard Entertainment recently received a request to change the e-mail address used to log in to the Battle.net account with the username jan@irial.com. The e-mail address u***@hotmail.com has been specified as the new username for this Battle.net account. An email has been sent to this new address containing a verification link to complete the change.
Once the new address has been verified, the e-mail address jan@irial.com can no longer be used to log in to this Battle.net account or any World of Warcraft accounts merged with this Battle.net account.
If you did not initiate this request, please click here(http://eu.battle.verifyaccount.us/accountlogin.html) to check your login e-mail address immediately.
Sincerely,
The Battle.net Account Team
