I've not shown the IP address but Google says it originates in Switzerland, but that may not be correct.
Hi John and anyone else who may read this thread later 😃
I work in the E.ON Next security team - firstly a big thank you for bringing this to our attention!
As discussed separately, on this occasion this was a false positive triggered by accident on our part. However we absolutely appreciate our community getting in touch and sharing details on any suspicious or unsolicited emails/calls/SMS or anything else from or purporting to be from E.ON Next.
You can reach our team on this forum if you ever need to or via the regular contact channels.
Hi John, thanks for sharing. So this email is sent if an incorrect password has been tried 5 times by the member or someone else attempting. Am I right in thinking that it wasn't you attempting?
The email is information only. The connection definitely wasn't successful.
