如果您是YouTuber,请注意伪造的歌剧Massives向您走来走去。

浏览器团队不得不发出警告相对于scammy滑稽的好交易name. At a time when people are stretched for cash, nothing could be better than a promo mail bearing good news landing in their mailboxes. Unfortunately, it’s not quite what it seems.

发生了什么?

许多YouTube内容创建者都收到了这样的邮件:

您好,我是Operasoftware的经理。

我们公司已关注您的频道,并决定提出要约。我们的Operagx浏览器缺乏受欢迎程度,因此我们为您提供与我们合作。

如果您同意与我们的公司合作,请告诉我们,我们将向您发送条款。

best regards, Manager of OperaSoftware

邮件是由Opera确认的,是虚假的,不应受到信任。

OperaGX? What’s that?

Operagx是歌剧的浏览器geared towards gamers。它配备了许多功能游戏玩家和彩带的功能利用。我不知道它有多受欢迎,但我怀疑这是一个少量比开发人员需要邀请YouTuber进行促销交易更受欢迎。

这张假邮件有风险吗?

There absolutely is, most likely of the financial kind. Opera don’t dwell on the details too much, but do say the following:

From what we have observed, this particular scam is aimed at smaller YouTube creators in an attempt to get their personal information and subsequently get some form of payment from them.

You may think streamers不应该fall for this, but that’s probably not very fair. The scammers likely target those without sponsorship or product placement deals. This is because they won’t know precisely how legitimate deals take place. The savvy streamer with half a million viewers and branded energy drink t-shirts up for sale? Those aren’t the hot targets.

没有一笔交易和小型视图的新手?这是虚假的电子邮件部署时间。骗子知道彩带不会说拒绝。他们还知道,很有可能会抚摸自己的自我(“嗨,我们是周围最大的浏览器之一,我们需要您的帮助”)会完成工作。

发现假货的过程是什么?

就此骗局而言,有几种方法可以避免伪造报价的刺痛。某些机构代表歌剧进行宣传。他们将“确定自己”,并鼓励接收者查看发件人的电子邮件并在LinkedIn上进行验证。如果人们仍然不确定收到的消息,他们还提供了一个电子邮件地址,以联系联系。

There’s several examples of bogus sponsorship mails on sites such as Reddit. Here’s one which尽力而为为了掩盖假电子邮件地址,同时提供可疑下载。这是一个来自4个月前的asking the recipient to download a “timetable of sponsorship prices”.

No matter which variation of mail you receive, go straight to the official source. Check with Opera directly, and keep one finger hovering over the delete button. You may very well need it.
