Attackers rarely break software; they break people. Here is exactly how we communicate, so anything outside these rules should raise your suspicion.
We will NEVER
- Ask for your password, one-time code, recovery code, or recovery link — in email, chat, or support tickets.
- Ask you to 'verify your account' by clicking a link in an unexpected message.
- Send attachments you did not ask for.
- Pressure you with urgency ('your account will be deleted in 24 hours').
Every legitimate link
Starts with our exact domain: monster5stars.dev. Check the address bar — not the display text — before clicking. Look-alike domains (monster5stars-dev.com, secure-monster.net) are not us.
Use case
Verify a message is really from us
- Goal
- Never act on a forged message.
- Scenario
- An email claims your account needs urgent attention.
Steps
- 1Check the sender's full address, not the display name.
- 2Hover every link and confirm the domain in the browser's status area.
- 3When in doubt, ignore the message and open the product directly by typing the address yourself.
- 4Report the message to the security contact.
Outcome
Phishing attempts fail against you regardless of how convincing they look.
