Some people might ask, if this was a phishing e-mail, what would be the financial benefits of hacking someone's YouTube account. Well some YouTube users generate a lot of traffic to their website, due to their popularity, so if you could tap into that traffic source for a day or two it could have some monetary value if you owned a website.

But we do not think this is a phishing e-mail, but rather one spreading malware. If you are not a YouTube user, then this e-mail won't be much of a threat to you, but the unsuspecting YouTube user might be caught off guard by this e-mail and end up with some nasty malware on his/her computer.

Most people will miss this, because the message was sent by Ann Bailey and not YouTube. But that doesn't mean this From address is valid. If Ann Bailey sent you a message on YouTube, it is supposed to go through YouTube and this means the notification is supposed to come from YouTube. So the mere fact that the from address is not from YouTube.com, already tells you that this notification e-mail is fake.
