   So I've been getting at least 2-4 of these emails _every day_ for a couple weeks now... they are from YouTube, and they always come from a channel named "YouTube Creators".

   Except the channel name is actually not that, it just looks like that: https://tinyurl.com/2cs63xk4

     Even though the scammers are getting pretty clever, you'd think these unicode-fooling names could still be detected by Google, what with all their fancy Gemini AI...

     Targeted phishing is only going to get worse (re: my GitHub issue last week: https://x.com/geerlingguy/status/1901313223015518250 )

     @klopf I still use X, Bsky, Threads, Insta, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Facebook, and my good ol blog, because that's where viewers are.

     Despite rumors to the contrary and despite Elon's best efforts to trash it, X is still a huge community, especially in the maker and electronics crowd.
