Mirai Malware

[shargrove]

Hi. I have received an email that is meant to motify me of a network abuse incident relating to my Vodafone Broadband service. It states that a third party has attacked my connection as part of a coordinated DDoS botnet. If I don't do anything, my connection will be terminated. But the email is very limited in information on what needs to be done.

Please help, as I only have 24 hours, it seems.

Totally sounds like a phishing attempt. It should be easy to tell, see: https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/tips/types-of-phishing/

Do not click any links in the email.

Hey there @shargrove - I understand how worrying these email can be and we want to shut down phishing sites/companies as soon as possible. Please forward the email to phishing@vodafone.co.uk – we'll investigate and try to find out where it came from. For more information on this please see here.
