Being part of the Internet for almost 30 years makes Squidge an easy target for scammers solely because of longevity.  I've had the same email address since 1994, and still use it to this day.

This email (and the image shown) got through spam filters, but of course I knew it was a phishing attempt because, well, we use no software like this.

a phishing attempt sent to me (Squidgie) telling me to change my password - at a non-Squidge website.

Please remember if you get anything like this, please check the headers of the message, and make sure any link in the message goes to squidge.org, NOT some phishing site like this one.

Good to know about. And unfortunate that it piggybacks on an effort by legitimate sites to keep people's accounts more secure by rotating passwords 😒

Exactly! Taking advantage of people like what this Phishing folks are doing is just wrong. GRRRR!

edit: Sorry, responded from my personal (SquidgiePDX) account, not SquidgeStatus.
