    Thanks for the heads up! As usual, you can tell it's a scam just by the poor quality English.

          Thats interesting too...

          " Dear *********,
          We know that some of you have accounts on bitcointalk.org and we wanted to let you know that a phishing attempt was made on bitcointalk email addresses earlier today.
          If you received an email with the subject Mtgox.Claim assessment process, delete it and do not click on the link it contains! This email did not come from Kraken, but was spoofed to look as though it came from our support email ([email protected]).
          For more information about the email, see this post on reddit:
          https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4m3op0/psa_phishing_attempts_reported_today_kraken_re/
          We do not know how the bitcointalk email addresses were obtained, however the bitcointalk database has been compromised in the past. You can be assured that this incident was not the result of any breach in Kraken’s database and your personal information with Kraken is safe.
          Even if you did receive the email, you are safe so long as you do not click on the link (just delete the email and you will be fine). If you did click on the link and are concerned about it, please contact us at: [email protected].
          Stay safe,
          The Kraken Team "

            Hey. Just discovered this post. I'm going to link it as "further reading" in my latest post about phishing.

            https://steemit.com/steemit/@condra/public-wallets-and-the-target-on-your-back-original-article

            Please feel free to get involved in the discussion. I do think phishing represents a huge challenge for Steemit and crypto going forward.

              This bot detected images from a legacy source and decided autonomously
              to upload them to the InterPlanetary FileSystem (IPFS)! The upload was
              successfull and the pictures can be found here:
