Spurious email for password change
Hello, looking for some info if possible? Today I recieved an unsolicited email stating I had requested a password change request on my Netgear equipment. Now as far as I am aware none of my kit is currently NetGear badged. I have ecently installed a new Ethernet switch but that was TP Link. My Router is BT.
The link given was https://www.netgear.com/sso/reset/password.aspx then a whole lot of other stuff, including my email address
Does anyone know of his is a valid netgear URL or are they aware of any phishing scams based on Netgears support?
Thanks for any advice
Regards
Mike

Netgear site. Whether it's good for anything is a different question.
