Hello,

This message is here to help you safeguard your Stripe account against recent phishing attempts we’ve observed. We’ve noticed an increase in scams targeting Stripe accounts. These are often in the form of phishing: emails or phone calls that claim to come from Stripe to try and steal sensitive information like passwords, two-step authentication codes, or personal financial details.

Stripe works hard to protect your business, but it’s important to stay informed about threats to keep your account secure.

Phishing emails often claim there’s an urgent problem with your Stripe account, such as paused payments or payouts. They want to scare you into providing sensitive information that can be used to steal your money or data.

Phishing can happen over the phone as well – such as a call from someone who claims to be from Stripe. Stripe will never call you unexpectedly. When in doubt, hang up and contact support via official channels at support.stripe.com.

We recommend reviewing the security practices below to ensure you stay protected against future phishing attempts.
