The connection to the website is encrypted, but you are right, it’s not like pre HTTPS badness

I assume the good ol’ E-Mail Spam Business is still going strong and getting stronger. If more people make business online, the more will fall to the “there’s a problem with your account, please re-enter your credentials” bait.

I’ve even seen phrases like: your account may have been compromised, please enter now your credentials to fix the problem and add a laver of protection to your privacy.

In the last few weeks, I got the same “your account is on hold” ( font in google colors ), always from a different sender, multiple times a day … Flagging these as Spam has no effect.
