Nick Johnson, the leading developer of Ethereum Name Service (ENS), received a warning about Google, reporting to him about subordinate with the law enforcement agency. The security warning [and] the message was signed and delivered by Google. They also used a trick to force Google to send them real e-mail, and then stopped it with fraud.
A fraudulent message was apparently received from [email protected] and handed over the domain identified authentication method by e-mail. This is signed with the actual DKIM key and passes all the checks, ”says Johnson, adding that the last step was to send a warning about the victims of the victims.
