Message from SKYLUM

Not sure if this is the right Forum for this question.

I did get a message from SKYLUM ( team@skylum.com ) with the link pointing to the site:

https://skylum.com/blog/act-now-save-ukraine-defend-democracy-24

The title of the link is :

"Save Ukraine

Defend Democracy"

+ I am getting this:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to skylum.it.acemlnb.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.


The link is very long - see attached



Is this legitimate , safe to follow?

Any Luminar / SKYLUM insiders can comments?

Looks like a phishing scam to me.

Don't click the links.

Run Forrest, run!

The "acemlnb" subdomain in that address is commonly used in phishing scams.

No , I never click on anything unknown.
I usually dissect the link and look at domain.

The similar message is actually on the official Luminar site :

Luminar AI Photo Editing Software for Mac & PC

but this link looks very different :

https://skylum.com/blog/act-now-save-ukraine-defend-democracy-24

As it is suspect suggest you disable or delete the link in original post and all replies.

A link claiming to be from Skylum which isn’t from skylum.com? Do they think your head zips up the back?? All I see is the acemlnb.com bit.

Not with a ten foot tarry pole, mate!
