Warpcast

Some of you got verification emails from Warpcast today.

Your account is safe and this was not a phishing attack. Warpcast was not compromised.

But you should always:  

1. Check that emails and links come from farcaster.xyz or warpcast.com
2. Never share your recovery phrase on any web site.

What’s next?

The attacker will try to send phishing emails to these addresses to trick you into sharing your recovery phrase or clicking on a malicious link. 

Remember: 

1. Check that emails and links come from farcaster.xyz or warpcast.com
2. Never, ever enter your recovery phrase into a website.

What happened?

Someone tried to sign up for accounts using known emails from data breaches. You can check if your email has been in such a breach on https://haveibeenpwned.com/

The goal is likely to figure out which emails already have Warpcast accounts.

is there a distinction on what type of email would come from the two domains? assuming each domain for its respective  (um) domain but also just curious

Ok if I did not receive an email does that mean I’m…..not real?

A friend wants to create a new Warpcast account now (he hasn't been on FC before), but he can't. He's getting a 500 error from my invite link.

What is the best alternative to create an FC account?

I was pretty sure that it was a scam, although it looked legitimate

"This was not a phishing attack" sounds like you have sent it, but I guess it is indeed an attack?
