Digital Identity Protection

Phishing attempt pretending to be Bitdefender (or just a poor quality email?)

I received an email today that said it came from Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection. Bitdefender (and others) constantly explain how to spot spoof emails, including looking for bad spelling. I was therefore worried that my email client said the DKIM was invalid as the email had been modified and also that the email contained a prominent button inviting me to 'SECURE YOU DATA'. (and not the correct spelling, Secure Your data) - see screenshot. I've also attached the message source (with my email obfuscated). The source appears genuine but I'm no expert.

Is this a real phishing attempt or are Bitdender not taking their own advice and letting an email with obvious bad spelling be sent out?

Naturally, I didn't click the button, so if it's genuine it was not very effective!

    Hello,

    That is 100% a legitimate Bitdefender email. Apparently, a grammatical error crept into that text, or someone omitted a letter. I'm very sorry for this inconvenience and I want to thank you for giving us a heads-up.
    The text will be corrected as soon as possible.

    Once again, many thanks. 👍️
