Ask HN: Seen this VC phishing email?

3 points

I've received a fake Google drive link from a few of my investors in the past month. My investors and advisors' accounts have been hijacked after receiving the same email from other VCs and members of the startup community.

The email prompts you to login to Google Drive so you can see a folder called "Investors/Advisors. If you fill it out, your account gets pwned, and a copy of the email goes out to all your contacts.

Has anyone else encountered this? Link to the email here: http://imgur.com/a/cP4jw.
