Top Boy Group’s Agency Warns of Fake Emails Containing Malware
The agency of a top 2nd generation boy group has issued a warning regarding the distribution of fake emails.
Around Us Entertainment, the agency of the group Highlight (formerly BEAST), announced on their official website on July 4th, “Recently, a large number of emails containing malware have been sent, pretending to be from Around Us.”
The agency continued, “These fake emails, which often have provocative subject lines or content such as ‘image copyright infringement’ or ‘planned lawsuit,’ are intended to confuse recipients and induce them to open the email. We urge your caution when interacting with them.”
The agency clarified, “We send emails only through our official domain, and we do not sue our fans unless it involves deliberate damage to the artist’s image or exploiting the official image for personal gain.”
Finally, they added, “So far, only one email address has been identified, but as the spread of malware through email is frequent these days, additional fake emails using other addresses may be sent. We ask fans to be cautious.”
On the other hand, Around Us Entertainment was established by the members of Highlight in 2016. In April, Highlight announced that they had reached an agreement to use the trademark for their former name, BEAST, stating, “It is refreshing to be able to show the name ‘Beast’ regardless of our active name. We hope this news serves as a meaningful gift for Highlight and our fans on our 15th anniversary.”
