After the recent issue of Bitmex which was the
Mass email leak of its users I received a random email from this email address:
info@bitmex-explained.com which is seems legit yet suspicious.
The content of the e-mail is all about the recent email privacy issue of Bitmex and it stated some instructions or guides how our account become safe.
I become curious when the e-mail suggested to create a new account on Bitmex with new email address. And they give a link to the register form of Bitmex with
referral inside of the given link. Check the images below.
Those links in the instruction that talks about creating a new account consist of referral links when I tried to open those links.
So this kind of scammer/hacker maybe is just into commission on every account he/she can able to hook via his/her referral link? Hmmm. Since he is just spreading his referral links.
I already reported this to the support of Bitmex and they told that they only have two official email addresses that they are using;
Please be aware of phishing attempts. Emails from BitMEX are sent from “support@bitmex.com” and “noreply@bitmex.com”. Please add these email addresses to your contacts list to ensure that these emails do not land in your spam folder. BitMEX will never ask for your password.
Please be aware everyone. I am still waiting for their reply since I already forwarded the e-mail that I received on that suspicious email address.
