Strange email "STMicroelectronics - Start your download"

[digitaltoast]

Wasn't anywhere near ST site but got this email:

Please click on this button to start the download of the requested content:
${ctatext}

Was this a test gone wrong? Did anyone else get it? Do I need to contact support?

Just posting here in case anyone else got it.

Same here. I just ignored it and didn't click anything

Hi @digitaltoast,

Thanks for reporting this to us. 
I checked in with the respective team and indeed this mail was sent due to a technical issue. 

My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

Best regards,
Laurids

The email that was sent in error (I also received it), contained only a mangled URL with no real destination, so after double-checking I can confirm it is indeed harmless.

However, I agree that it looked like a phishing email, and for that we sincerely apologise.

Regards

I also received the email, seemed like a glitch, I used the opportunity to request for STM32V8 high performance MCUs whitepaper download.

Same, on every email address of mine known to ST!

Me too...  aaaa, ok, just read it,  ST email server got a leak .

But the link for support:

looks like phishing to me.

I also received one of these emails. Thanks for confirming it was an automation error.
