Hello,

I received an E-Mail from a "Pseudo" security team from hotmail asking to update my E-mail account using the following attached link.

hXXps://i3c8h-mailer.my.cclb.io/

It looks like some fake mailing trying to collect users information.

Please, hope that you send me your advise if this link is secure or not ???

Thanks some much to everybody

Francis

@ francis
Please 'modify' your post change the URL from http to hXXp or www to wXw, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.

Or just post the domain without the https, e.g. i3c8h-mailer.my.cclb.io/

You are certainly right to have been suspicious, this really wouldn't be normal from any sort of legit support being this obscure.

This appears to be an attempt to steal your logon details and password.

Also see https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/cclb.io which is the actual domain at the last part of your url.  Considered a medium security risk and even that redirects to codecollab.io
