Centrora Security User Activation

Post by Ertmania » Thu Sep 03, 2020 5:42 pm

I reveived an e-mail today from Centrora Security, encouraging me to click on a link. The purpose should be to activate a new account.
I have the Centrora Security plug-in installed, but I don’t know what this is.
What do you think?

There is (or was) something relating to "Centrora Security" at GitHub and the documentation for this is available here: https://centrora-security-documentation ... oomla.html. I know nothing else about this extension.

If it is to activate a new account I would assume that means to activation of the account for access to the premium features of the service.

If you think it's a suspicious link (phishing etc) then your internet security software should block it when it is clicked. If you ignore, it, monitor your email for any subsequent emails of the same sort.
