    That email address doesn't look like a CBA email address

    It's legit, there was a bit of stuff sent out to brokers yesterday. Essentially a valuation firm CBA uses were hacked and some data stolen.

    CBA ANZ and NAB appear affected and it was raised last week. Landmark have been suspended as a provider pending the matter being determined. The stolen data has sat on the dark web and some kid told NAB. And it blew up from there.

    LandMark White hacked data sat on dark web for 10 days

    It is a legit address - the cba.com.au at the end is the important part.

    The "edm" part is a common subdomain used by large senders to separate their "Email Direct Marketing" (aka bulk email - also known as "Electronic Direct Marketing") activities from those of their primary inbound email (ie staff will use @cba.com.au addresses, while EDM activity uses @edm.cba.com.au)

    It's generally good to be suspicious of emails and seek to validate their authenticity though!
