[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [OFF TOPIC] Spoofed email alert

Hi all,

This is off topic for this group, but it actually looks like a number of
recipients of spoofed emails are in this group anyway, so I thought I'd
drop folks a quick FYI note.

As you all likely know, we have an abuse-reporting process and
relationships with many banks, registrars, registries, social media
platforms, etc., primarily focused on illicit healthcare websites. Most of
our notifications are not via email, although sometimes we reach out this
way. An individual has, over the last week or two, been vigorously spoofing
our abuse email in order, it appears, to try to take down some of their
competitors (a sort of black hat SEO strategy). We're homing in on the
spoofer (we're pretty close to confirming who it is), but in the meantime,
if you've received what appears to be an inexplicable abuse notification
from LegitScript...rest assured it's not us.

If you have received one, I'd be most grateful for the mail headers. :)
Thanks, apologies for the off topic email, and now back to our regularly
scheduled food fight.

John Horton
President and CEO, LegitScript
