You know Proton has grown big when others take the time and effort to create scams like that.
It's no longer a tiny operation which is easily ignored or forgotten.
Question is what kind of scam is it? It looks like a crypto scam on the surface. But could it be more? Password phishing? Session hijacking?
I'm guessing they'll want you to log in. they'll use those credentials to get data from protonpass and try to breach other sites? ( Like crypto sites ( e.g.: binance ).
Maybe even mass send email to the contacts about this great new platform they found at >insert dodgy link
I agree with you. The logo/background all definitely looks proton style. Somebody made an effort to make it look like an actual product.
@fluckx Yupp .... and this is the lamest excuse I've seen in a long time ...
This is bullshit and they try to hide it. And they know it.
That Proton logo font is unique to Proton. These guys have studied this post: https://proton.me/blog/new-visual-universe
@protonmail @protonprivacy Don't let this pass. Let these guys feel they've trespassed into the wrong garden.
