Suspicious email from DCS World?

I received an mail today from DCS world that raised flags in my head. As far as I can tel it did come from DCS world, unless the address was spoofed, but it had just a title, no text in the body, and an invisible image in the body.

 

 

From: DCS World <noreply@digitalcombatsimulator.com>

Subject: Interesting offer here

Body: No text, but an invisible image

Intel i7-4770k @ 4.4ghz, 32gb ram, GTX 1080ti, Oculus Rift S

I can provide the raw email content if requested, but all the body contains is what appears to be a tracking image from:

Unfortunately since I have DCS setup as "trusted" in GMail, the tracking image was automatically loaded.

 

 

I may have to rethink that setting now :(

I didn't see anything outright malicious in the email body. Just the tracking image which at worst just lets someone know you saw it.

 

 

I'm more concerned with WHY this email got sent as it could **potentially** mean ED has been compromised in some way.

It was just the template message, you're all good

 

 

Can I ask where you heard that from? I had looked over the recent posts and didn't see anything about this.

Thank you. I wouldn't have thought to look there.

 

 

Honestly when something like that happens they should send out a second email explaining it so that everyone sees it. In today's environment people are understandably paranoid.
