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.
does it have the “official” tag? it should look like this:
This looks like they’re using the iOS mail client
Yes this is the mail app in ios
OP stated this was sent to their Gmail, so wouldn’t have the tag.
i linked up my Gmail anf proton. so my gmail stuff gets forwarded to proton with a specific tag
Isnt proton.me their real url, or does it lead you somewhere else when you click it?
You sneaky boi
It seems to lead to proton.me but maybe I’m not expert enough.
They may have the ‘official’ url in the link, but there’s a good chance they might be piped/redirected through a malicious server under the spammer’s control to log your keystrokes.
I’ve seen at least a couple times a similar trick but with payment req websites like cash app or venmo. Everything looks legit, but if you were to look closely at the url they want you to click, it is almost always routed through a server under the phisher’s control.
Wondering if someone somehow linked your Gmail (email you received this on) to their proton account. I was looking for an email you could forward this to to report it to proton but could not find one.
As always, if an email looks suspect, don’t click anything. Just wish there was a way to report it.
I’m not sure if this is how proton notifies you, but it could also be that someone else (the other address you’re seeing) put you in as their recovery mail. they haven’t logged in in a while, and now get notified that their account might get deleted due to lack of activity. They might have just mistyped the intended recovery email or randomly put in yours. Either way, nothing you need to do.

Are you using the iOS mail client with a proton email account?
