Scammers are spoofing the support email for hardware wallet maker Ledger, prompting users to share their seed phrases under the pretense of checking for a compromise.
Ledger users have reported that phishing scammers are spoofing the crypto hardware wallet provider’s support email in a bid to trick users into revealing their wallet keys.
The bogus email claims Ledger suffered a “recent data breach” and encourages recipients to verify their private seed phrase under the guise of needing to “safeguard” their assets, according to screenshots shared on X and a Dec. 17 BleepingComputer report.
The email appears to be from Ledger’s legitimate support email, but BleepingComputer reports it was actually sent through an email marketing platform.
