Suspicious login

Solved
Hello,

I just received the following message in my Yahoo mail inbox, coming from the following email address: ***@***. In the recipient field, I see the email address ***@***

Here is the content of the message:

"A login attempt has been made with your user ID.

Please review the details of the attempt:

IP address: 309.408.278.890 (115.231.188.109 -Chinanet) is located in Zhongxin

(China - Hunan)

CONFIRMATION OF YOUR IDENTITY

Identify yourself: identification"

The identification includes a link that I have not clicked on yet for security reasons. I would like to know if this message was actually sent by Yahoo.

Thank you for your response.

Best regards,
Sille Moens

  1. Hello,

    If no names, pseudonyms, or website names are mentioned, then it is better not to click on this link.

    1. The email comes from "Yahoo Service" via the address ***@***. Is it really a Yahoo service?

      Thank you for your help!

    3. The email comes from a company that does not appear to be affiliated with Yahoo; otherwise, the domain name (in this case "t-online.de") would logically be something like "yahoo.com" or "yahoo.fr". However, it is also possible that it comes from Yahoo, I'm not sure about anything.

      Can you send a screenshot?

    4. @hcp7kuzOk, I'm going to look for how to do that, because when I press the PrtScn key, nothing happens...

    5. I managed to take a screenshot by pasting it into the Paint program, but I don't see any option to send attachments here?
