Verify email from Samsung

Hello, I received an email ending with @samsung-team.com for media coverage on YouTube, does anyone know how to check if it is legit.

Thanks,

That website was created on the second of February and has no relation to samsung. Good job questioning it.

To be exact, it's https certificate has no organisation and is done by an individual. The official samsung sites have official samsung certificates. Plus the domain samsung-team.com was registered using a domain buying service. Samsung wouldn't do that.

Trying to download the collaboration tools downloads malware

Update, ran the malware myself in a sandbox. It's rhadamanthys stealer. If you ran it it'd steal all your accounts and passwords. (I love testing malware)

To be exact, it leads you to download an encrypted rar file, inside is "samsung marketing documents" which are all corrupted. There is a "PDF" file that is actually a screen saver file. When this file is ran, it runs code that executes malware and steals all the data from the browser, then sends it off to the attacker.

Cheers arianwen27!

@Members_MRZZNcc , To back up what arianwen27 said, that doesn't look like a legit Samsung site/email to me.
