Hey, Why did I get that email?

You got Spam, With a hint of phishing.

aicdad.com

I have been receiving DMARC reports from Gmail, Yahoo and others. The report says they(Gmail and others) are receiving fake spoofed emails from the @aicdad.com domain to its users.

DMARC for this domain is set to reject emails that fail the DMARC check. So any server which honors DMARC should ideally reject the spoofed emails.

But the reality is – DMARC is good as it is, most email servers will accept the email from spammers spoofing a legit email. Almost all email providers move these emails to the spam folders. Rest just don’t and place them in the inbox(this is incompetence if you ask me).

If you have received any emails from @aicdad.com and were not expecting one. Mark it as spam. Don’t reply to it, Don’t feed the spammers.

Want more details or any concerns write to me <root + wth@aicdad.com>(eg- groot+wth@groot.con)

Phishing attacks have “gone through the roof” in the pandemic.
