I got this email earlier today in my inbox and wanted to be sure that this was not an attempted phishing scam. I didn’t see anything about this on Proton’s website, Reddit or Lemmy, so just wanted to cover my bases. Didn’t click the link and just went straight to Proton’s website to download the latest version and install (while also uninstalling the Flatpak I was previously using). If this is legit, Proton should probably make it more visible to the community by at least addressing it on their own website.

EDIT: I also checked the version number on the Flatpak and on the .deb versions I installed and it did indeed go up by one, so this does seem to lend it more legitimacy, but more acknowledgement would still be appreciated.

EDIT 2: According to comment below, this is indeed legit, thank you! If you’re using the Windows or Linux version be sure to do the update!

    I didn’t get a message like this, and I’m a Proton person. I’d be wary of phishing too.

      It’s definitely legit. Only goes to paid users using it
