If you get this email DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS - report it as Phishing / Scam / Spam to your provider

Just got this email through an email account I use for mining, which means it came from one of the pools I'm on. My email is set to hidden on all pools. Not sure if it's a scam, but it SURE looks like one. On examining the hidden link data, it redirects to a google drive to load some file. I didn't click on it. I'll include the header data below, and a pic of the email. I won't include the email as I wouldn't want anyone clicking the link.

Looks like someone exploited a relay somewhere.

Anyone else see this? What makes me curious is the email account is for mining pools. If it's hidden, someone had server-side access..

That looks clearly like a scam. Wanting you to upload your file.. and they have an offline/imitation copy of the blockchain website.

Nice.

I heard one of the pools got hacked today. Will try to find out more.

Not sure if it related, but I did get an email from an old pool that I haven't used for months...
