Warning: Got a fake password reset email yesterday that almost got me
It looked exactly like a real one from my bank, down to the logo and sender address. I clicked the link before I caught myself. Only thing that stopped me was hovering over the URL and seeing it was some random .xyz domain. This is getting way too good. Has anyone else seen these lately?

Wait, was the hover URL actually hidden behind a button or was it a straight text link you could actually inspect? That usually makes a difference with these fake banks emails.

Wait, are you sure that link was actually from the email itself though? Sometimes the hover trick can be misleading if they use a redirect or something. I've seen a few people post about these lately but I think some of them are just getting paranoid and clicking stuff they shouldn't.
