Dec 31, 2020Netgear Phishing emails?
Hi.
just wanted to check if this is phishing or not as it was blocked by my webfilter and as I do have the latest firmware installed this email does not make any sense to me. Router is correct and it looks from the raw header legit.
Link goes to:
https://click.e.netgear.com/?qs= [IDENTIFIER]
However on my cell it tries to funnel through:
kb.netgear.com.[IDENTIFIER].live.siteforce.com
Sender is:
security@e.netgear.com
Thanks.
