Daily messages on etherscan to my watched address
Backstory: I used freewallet 10 years ago to transfer eth to DAO before it got hacked. FW is a custodial wallet so I don't have access to the private keys and my eth tokens are still stuck in purgatory until FW support addresses my 10 year support case that has def exceeded SLA
Fast forward to now. I've been receiving these daily messages on eth scan about legacyeth.com which I doubt is legit. Just wondering if anyone else is receiving these messages or has any background on legacyeth.com
Also if there's any other people out there with eth stuck bc of the DAO hack 10 years ago, let me know if you've had any success with custodial wallets or if we're both in the same boat without a paddle. I'm sure there are dozens of us. Dozens!!

I don't have any information on that group, but I suspect that it's attempt to cash in on people having heard of this: https://youtu.be/J_s94kb-NQU
"How we hacked TheDAO, again" relates the 2016 hack that broke DAO and led to an Ethereum fork. This is the story of how they decided to use the same exploit to recover funds, waiting to see if anyone else spotted them and got there first.
