[Cryptography] Scammogram warning: Satoshi is not Satoshi

[Ray Dillinger]

I received a message today from a well-remembered address: 
Satoshi at vistomail.com.

It was a scammogram.  But it's worth making a public warning here 
because it was an unusually good scammogram and using that address, 
someone might attempt something similar against others on the list.

It was a spear-phish, directed at me specifically based on being 
involved back then, based on things I've let drop in public, and based 
on public examples of Satoshi's style.

However, it was not from the person who used the name 'Satoshi Nakamoto' 
in 2008-2010.  Even more obviously it wasn't signed with a key I recognized.

BE AWARE!  'vistomail.com' was not renewed by the company that ran the 
anonymous email service through it back then, and the email address was 
recycled well after Satoshi did his vanishing act.

So if any of you on the crypto list have also recently received messages 
from satoshi at vistomail.com you should be aware that someone is trying this.

I still deal with a few people a year trying to get Satoshi's keys out 
of me (FWIW, I don't have them and never did). This isn't the first time 
I've seen a scammer pretending to be Satoshi.  But seeing the vistomail 
address on the message was a bit of a shock, and the capacity of that 
address to mislead the unwary is serious enough to warn about.
