Beware of a possible Kraken scam / breach

This is an email I just got:

https://preview.redd.it/r0jdsb6788gc1.png?1266&format=png&auto=webp&s=a95d23b38bd0353fe16944d34e283c1502e03783

​

I can't find this "Unified Deposit Methods" options on their website or anywhere else.

​

The email was sent from a new email, "[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])" instead of the usual "[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])".

The email redirects to a "https://link.kraken.com/", a subdomain I haven't seen before.

​

I fear there is a chance of a breach and someone got control over their subdomains. Don't click the links before Kraken responds to this.

​

I contacted support, which is busy and I'm still waiting for a human response. - this also never happened before to me. Until now, only the bot replied to me with:

It seems like the email might be a scam. Real Kraken emails come from domains like marketing.kraken.com, email.kraken.com, or rewards-email.kraken.com.

Be mindful of similar looking characters or misplaced periods in the email address.

Never click on any suspicious links within such emails.

​

I'm absolutely not sure what to think of this. Maybe someone at Kraken can comment on it? u/krakensupport
