YouTube partners are being hit with a new phishing scam in the form of e-mails that appear to come YouTube teams. The message of course wants you to reply with your YouTube login info.
The e-mails appear to be evolving…the first wave was pretty amateur looking but the new iterations are much more believeable.
YouTube is aware of the problem. Here is their response:
“We are aware of recent phishing emails where users posing as Google or YouTube support have tried to obtain the login credentials of our partners. Security is a top concern at YouTube and action has been taken against these users and we are taking steps to prevent potential future occurrences. YouTube will never send an unsolicited message asking for your password or other sensitive information by email or through a link.”
