Suspicious email received

I’ve had a suspected phishing email from nicholas@ringuk.shop
Has anyone else?
Can anyone tell me if that email address is legit please?
Nicholas is offering me stupidly cheap cameras!

I have received one from James james@indoorcamera.shop. My concern is that the email address used has only ever been given to ring and they have used the full name I shared with ring.
This indicated that rings customer data has been compromised as they have previously denied that they have lost customer data. Can ring please confirm.

I have had three now. I have rung and reported it to ring support and asked them to investigate a potential data breach.

Same here, started last week. Domain name used was only registered a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve reported it. They tell me they have informed the relevant authorities and will keep me posted.

As you say with you, the only place this email is used is with Ring. It won’t have been harvested from anywhere else so there has got to have been a breach of a Ring DB somewhere.

Same with me. Clearly a scam but also very indicative of a data breach. Under UK law, don’t they have an obligation to inform the Data Commissioner and anyone affected?

Wired website reported in March that Ring are in a standoff with hackers

Mine come from mail@ring-camera.shop
