I was recently contacted through this forum by someone impersonating ALAA IT Solutions. The email looked legitimate at first glance, but when I double-checked, the sender's address was info@aalasolution.com (missing the final "s"), while the real company's address is info@aalasolutions.com. I'm attaching a screenshot of the message I received. Please be cautious if you get any unexpected outreach claiming to be from that company. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for reporting this - I got another report of the same email so it seems that someone scraped the Slack org 😕

yes, the same here.

I've checked membership for both Nextflow and nf-core Slack and can't find anything that seems related, so there's not much we can do sorry.

Yeah. I got the same email.

@Phil Ewels not sure how the email addresses have been scrapped but potentially: slack.com/help/articles/228020667-Manage-email-display

Yeah I know, but I have always kind of liked being an open transparent community with this stuff. But if this kind of activity starts happening more often then we might need to.

Agree here!

Got the same email as well today. Thanks for alerting this

Got the same email Sept 29th

Checked my spam and saw I got the same email October 6th
