This Phishing Email... What Is The IP?

When the scammers are so bad at their job they give you an IP address that doesn't even exist. 91.684.353.482? Each octet in an IPv4 address maxes out at 255, but these geniuses went full "let's just mash numbers on the keyboard" mode. It's like they're phishing with training wheels on.

Props to whoever made this phishing email though – they remembered to add the "Do not share this link" warning in red. Nothing says legitimate security alert like explicitly telling people not to share your sketchy link. Real Coinbase would be so proud.

Fun fact: IPv4 addresses are four octets ranging from 0-255, making the valid range 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. So unless they're trying to pioneer IPv5 with extended ranges, this is just... impressively wrong.
