Seems like fishing email using Cardano Forum to gain confidence

I just got a strange email as follows:

Somebody asked to reset your password on Cardano Forum.

If it was not you, you can safely ignore this email.

Click the following link to choose a new password:
[https://forum.cardano.org/u/password-reset](https://forum.cardano.org/u/password-reset-followed-by-some-characters-which-I-will-not-reveal

The following is data about the email

from: Cardano Forum notifications@cardano.discoursemail.com
reply-to: Cardano Forum notifications@cardano.discoursemail.com

Is this for real or is it fishing?
Thanks, John

Ok, I am starting to understand.
This is legit.
Someone pretending to be me tried to reset my password and take over my account.
There is nothing I need to do because the user does not have access to my gmail account.
Security is working as intended.
Much thanks.
