Protonmail hack

[Starrysky]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share that my protonmail was hacked a couple days ago and I didn't notice until after donating. The scammer emailed me back afterwards saying they had accidentally doubled my order and if i wanted to keep the extra i could just donate a little more and all would be well. Luckily I had read the previous posts here on dbg about this so I instantly knew not to send anything else and it was a scammer I was actually conversing with, not the vendor.

I also had two emails supposedly from DBG admin in my inbox saying a vendor had direct messaged me on the site with links to the message, they looked legit but i know not to ever click links so I came here to the site to check and there were no messages from that vendor here. Said Vendor later confirmed they had never contacted me.

Please be careful and take time to keep an eye out for anything that seems off or out of place. There's a few things I could have picked up on I realize now if I was paying closer attention. Also, don't freak out and delete everything in your inbox if you think you've been hacked. I did this not thinking and then realized I had deleted any information that would have helped us figure out more details about how it happened.

Ive switched to tuta mail now. Never touching proton again. the more I learn about them the more i see they're full of it.

I hope this helps someone not make the same mistakes. Everyone stay safe out there!

This EXACT same thing happened to me, Unfortunately I didn't know and got scammed. So Very Thankful you posted this, I suppose I'll be needing to apologize to the Vendor. Going to get a new email as we speak. Blessings

Oh man, I'm so sorry you went through this too! It's a bitch and really feels so violating. Not just because of the money but the privacy invasion. Scammers suck. I hope things look up for you in this situation and things work out with your vendor. Stay safe!

I was a target of a phishing campaign on Protonmail just today... I received an email appearing to come from Protonmail asking me to click on a button to verify my Protonmail address. Upon further inspection I noticed it was actually sent from some fake address (e.g., email@avxi-yz.com), obviously NOT associated with Proton.

This is not new. It’s been happening since last summer.
