Yikes, a scary email phishing attempt for this person’s GitHub credentials. Shows how using a browser web extension for your password manager can help detect this by its autofilling.

@andreas Damn I bet many has fallen for that. Looks legit at first glance.
@andreas thanks nitrohorse, now I learned two important things: first is how an email phishing works, and second is that a password manager (I use KeePassXC) is apparently effective to protect us in this case.
@ademalsasa @andreas I use KeePassXC, but without integration into the browser, thus it would not have protected me.
@blipp
OT
By some moments, I thought it should be spellt 'KeepAssXC'.
I also hope it works that way
@andreas people should be very careful and always have this in mind: never click a link in a mail if u didnt made a request for the mail in the first place. why would they need to reconfirm the email address more than once?
