Description

I got this strange e-mail some days ago:

Reset your password on Keybase because someone, who!?, used "Recover account" option on Keybase blablabla

Thats look strange for me because i am in firm control of all my «enabled» devices, i use all of it everyday, including the nuclear paper key variant which is in a safe and hidden place, so ... who send this recover acount option!? Me BUT from what device!? E-mail look legit, nothing strange, no dubios links or scripts hidden in raw text so ... Maybe i played too much around on keybase website logged on my account!?

My password is ok?!, checked again can logout and login, i need to reset my password? Is one of my devices, one ubuntu linux desktop + one smartphone + one android tablet, running hidden android exploits or viri who try to hack and control my keybase account!?

AND MY LITTLE STELLAR LUMENS STASH!?

Now with all this stellar lumens airdrops keybase playground is no more childplay is going serious! Someone is trying to steal my luminous lumens?

To proof that i am not dreaming I put the raw email body in my public keybase file database here: [Reset your password on Keybase](https://keybase.pub/totedati/Reset%20your%20password%20on%20Keybase)
