Hi yall, I have been receiving these email for a while now. The email address is no-reply@notify.proton.me but I’m pretty sure this is a phishing attack because not the first email (the one in blue) or the second account name (the one in red) are my proton account.
Someone knows these 2 gmail accounts and knows I have a proton one but doesn’t know the correct proton account name. Ofc my proton account is not linked these emails, not even for recovery situations.
Just heads up, this was not easy to spot.
Proton.me is their real url, but is that link taking you to proton.me?
In this case, without clicking any links in the email, why don't you just simply go to the proton website manually and log in for good measure?
I did, I have the app on the phone and the account is fine, no notifications or emails. Nothing… it happened already some weeks ago and i ignored it.
Don't Proton emails come starred or marked as oficial? At least on the Android app, for me, it shows 'Oficial'
Can confirm in the iOS app that messages from proton official have a special badge
Oh, really? This one didn’t have any badge at all. I’m confused.
To clarify, they have a badge in the proton client you’re in the ios mail app. Everything I can tell from this email makes it seem legit, this may be a false positive on you’re end ‘mfraid.
