Aw: Re: Dubious E-Mails from osgeo.org accounts

[Peter Löwe]

Hallo Jürgen,

thanks for your response. That's what I thought. I'm reporting this since the phishing campaign appears rather sophisticated (a string of mails from different pseudo-OSGeo accounts with thematically related topics). I can't judge how many OSGeo accounts are targeted, but maybe a word of warning might be appropriate to prevent infiltration.

Best,
Peter
