[BEWARE] Fake Mojang Locked Account Emails

[buildblox]

I'm surprised this is an actual problem, but I felt it ought to be mentioned here.

I recently received a phishing email (pretending to be from Mojang) designed to get a user's TID by stating their account is at risk of being locked. While most should have no problem in realizing that this is a scam, I can see some more naive individuals falling for it.

The email is sent from the domain "mojang.email" and looks something like this:

I'm not exactly sure if there are any steps that can be taken to address this, but I would appreciate any feedback!

I'd forward the email to mojang support or security.

I've had similar emails in the past with the same intentions. My go-to solution is to report abuse of the domain to the registrar. It's far more effective than contacting Mojang's support (which I still recommend to do).
