New phishing email scam impersonating Ledger spotted
The emails claim the user’s Ledger wallet seed phrase was compromised, and asks for confirmation
Users that provide the seed phrase lose all their money
Criminals are trying to steal cryptocurrency by impersonating hardware wallet firm Ledger and sending phishing emails.
Victims have reported receiving emails pretending to be from Ledger, and claiming that their seed phrase (also known as recovery phrase, or mnemonic seed) is compromised. To protect their digital belongings, the victims are invited to “verify the security” of the recovery phrase through the “secure verification tool”.
