Hey - Image creators. You likely have received a mail from someone claiming they're at image. This very much feels like a phishing scam. Don't click the link, and spread word to collaborators.

Not just creators — I did some freelance writing for the site years ago and got a similar email this morning. (I did not click on the link.)

Yeah. I got a response back, but was generic enough to be suspicious for me, and the more folks look into it, the susser it appears.

The important thing is that I’m learning I wasn’t the only one to click the link despite being suspicious

I feel a bit stupid though - I rarely fall for phishing. I googled the sender, got a reply to my email. It felt a bit iffy, but I often receive emails like this from publishers asking to update details etc.

This one is pretty bad and automates responses; don't feel bad, it's manipulative! Changing your password is best plan of attack, as it seems built just to snatch passwords. And if you have two factor authentication it can stop any attempts.
