Be careful: fake emails are circulating in the name of Free/Libre and Open Source projects. Below, an email received by @kdenlive that the official team does not recognize. Be vigilant, these are no doubt scams.

Always doubt. Cybersecurity awareness is crucial in these contexts. In this case, the attackers failed because they met an attentive and prepared user. but many Youtubers have fallen victim to account theft for the "version for YT partners". Always investigate, search whois at the domain and you have a lot of information that can save the victim from credential theft.

@Th3s3us @kdenlive Thanks for the detailed screenshot; what service provide this detailed whois? I need to bookmark that!

@davidrevoy @Th3s3us @kdenlive Should this be reported to the abuse email contact? Will it make a difference?

@frd Done! I emailed the 'abuse' link with links to this thread, and info , asking them to remove the account to protect future user of scam/malware. Not sure if it will have any effect, but at least, I tried.
