The origin account change email appears to be suspicious.
The origin account change email appears to be suspicious.
It appears genuine. Typically, when someone fakes a domain, the header would indicate it originated from a recognized provider such as Yahoo, Gmail, or another legitimate service. All domains point to em.ea.com. The IP address belongs to CHEETAHMAIL, the enterprise email system that EA uses. The main detail is the receipt from mta905.em.ea.com with SPF pass and a valid sender IP. The DKIM signature is absent. The message was sent from [email protected].
I recall receiving that message a few days back, which only mentioned a minor corporate brand update that seemed unrelated to my interests. Usually these emails aim to trick you into sharing details, but this one didn’t request any action from me.
I interpreted this message as completely genuine because I don’t reuse the same email across different platforms. Only EA recognizes my email, making it extremely unlikely for someone to impersonate me. Opening the email directs me straight to their EA.com store page.
