I use a unique email for every service. This week I got two emails to my Robinhood address from Metamask (never heard of it) subject “verify your wallet” I wonder how they got Robinhood’s email list?

That's a phishing email and for sure not from Metamask. They normally get your email from some crypto-related service database leak, in my case at least.

You’re right it’s not from Metamask! So… someone breached Robinhood’s account list and RH either didn’t disclose it or doesn’t know.

There was a Robinhood breach a while back - https://blog.robinhood.com/news/2021/11/8/data-security-inci...

I see, it must have been from that. Thanks very much for sharing that.

It’s very creepy and scary to see the breach notice side-by-side with these scumbags’ fresh phishing attempt. The people behind these sort of attacks need to be hunted down and brought to justice.

That's a possibility...

Perhaps someone is using valid emails to register fake accounts?
