Caution! Fake Email!

By Juniorandrade, history, 8 years ago, In English

Hi codeforces,

Today, i received a email from "codeforces@codeforcess.com" to registrate in contest. Obviously, it is a spam try to steal my username and password.

Someone received that?

Look this url!

    My email is public and I didn't receive it. It seems like he doesn't trust my solutions. :(

    It depends on the country. My question is why on earth someone would steal codeforces accounts.

      Unfortunately many people still use the same password everywhere on the web. So getting one password could mean gaining access to many other accounts.
