$BTC LEDGER USER JUST LOST $1 MILLION TO A FAKE SUPPORT LETTER
Another devastating crypto phishing attack just wiped out a massive wallet. A Ledger user reportedly lost over $1 million after scammers mailed a fake letter pretending to be official Ledger Support, tricking the victim into visiting a phishing website.
The setup was terrifyingly convincing. The letter reportedly warned of a security issue and instructed the user to “verify” their wallet by entering their seed phrase online. The moment the phrase was submitted, attackers gained full access and drained the funds almost instantly.
This is a brutal reminder that hardware wallets are only as secure as the person protecting the recovery phrase. No legitimate company will EVER ask for your seed phrase, under any circumstance. Not by email, not by phone, not by letter.
Crypto scams are evolving fast, and social engineering is becoming more dangerous than hacking itself. If attackers are now using physical mail to target holders, the next wave of scams could become even harder to spot.
