Spoof phishing Betfair email received stating correct user I

[hgodden]

Just read this elsewhere. Something everyone should probably be aware of.

Someone received quite a convincing spoof Betfair email from [email protected]

It states his name and Betfair user ID in the email, so not the normal sort of random thing, so could easily catch some people out. Beware!

If anybody can give info to do with this I can land it straight on the senior managements desk. Another reason to switch on two step authentication IMHO.

For those that don't use 2-step authentication, there is an article explaining it and video here showing it in action with Bet Angel.

This post finally pushed me into turning on 2FA (I know, I've been stupid), so something good came of it.
