Hi Barb,

I’ve spoken with a German team member at Emsisoft who
also submitted his email to the website. He said that the original
German response was that if you receive an email with the code, your
account has been compromised. Otherwise there would be no further
email.

Hope this helps. Sometimes things get lost in translation.

https://www.sicherheitstest.bsi.de/

is a German web site. Although I was able to translate on a web page I don’t completely understand their response.

“Thank you – your input is now checked. If your email address should be
in the Botnet data, receive one of us by PGP signed email with the
following code in the reference:nnReference code: xxxxnnPlease
notice this code and open you the answer mail then only if exactly this
code is indicated in the reference.nnIf the entered email address
should not be concerned, do not receive email.”

Are they saying if I do receive email from them with this code that my email address is secure or not?

Thanks,
Barb
