Hi there,

I just received an email as follows:
Plex reveals new VPN business www.MySafeVPN.com

Plex has been used as a media platform for a long time now with users mainly accessing content they’ve got saved on a local media server. However, with the recent change in US privacy bills, UK privacy laws and more, it is now more difficult to fill these media servers with the content that users want to enjoy.

Plex media server has now released a new service called www.MySafeVPN.com . This service will help users stay anonymous on the internet so they can download what they want, view what they want, browse where they want, without anyone looking over their shoulder. Internet access and media access can both now be completely anonymous using the new Plex VPN service which can be purchased at MySafeVPN.com .

Prices are currently on a discounted rate for today in order to allow users to get a chance to try the product. If you are interested, go to www.MySafeVPN.com and purchase your subscription today for just $9.99 . The team will help get you aligned with the service and you will be setup within minutes.

Do you have questions about our new service? Well because we wanted to make a big impact on the market, we stepped up our customer service from DAY 1. You can reach us via phone call OR SMS at +1-877-745-1560 . Get in touch with us today and we’ll answer all of your questions!

However, my security identified this as a phishing email… Is this true in anyway?

Just a heads up or my security is too tough :slight_smile:

Hey everyone. This is not us! We were also taken by surprise as many Plex employees received the same email, myself included. We’re seeing very similar emails going out from the same outfit to former Boxee users as well. We are investigating and reporting them to their service and mail providers, but believe this could be related to the 2015 forums breach.
