Suspicious email, actually from Atlassian

Jonathan Rynd_2yvgt2

I recently got an email with subject "Some of your work items need attention". I had never gotten a message of this type before. It contained no information attributable to me other than my email address -- no name, no ticket ID -- and the link in it didn't go to my company's Jira site but to a domain I didn't recognize, ss-inf.net. The message headers also didn't include any references to Atlassian.

After some more investigation, it looks like this was a legitimate email. My question is why is Atlassian sending emails that have all the hallmarks of scams:

* no personal information

* demanding an urgent response

* linking to a third-party website instead of (mycompany.atlassian.net) (all the other Jira emails link directly to my company's Jira site)

* sent from an unexpected server
