Previously, a Ledger hardware wallet user was scammed by phishing in September 2025, tricked into performing a so-called security check using a fraudulent letter impersonating "Ledger Security & Compliance," resulting in the theft of approximately $234,000 in cryptocurrency assets. The FBI and state police traced the funds and successfully seized approximately $600,000 USDT, filing a civil seizure lawsuit alleging the funds were linked to money transfer fraud and money laundering. This is reportedly one of a series of scams targeting hardware wallet users, with fraudsters using mailed emails bearing company logos, googramma images, and QR codes to increase the credibility of their fraudulent activities. Similar incidents have affected manufacturers such as Ledger, Trezor, etc., accompanied by data leaks and third-party service vulnerabilities, leading to ongoing phishing attacks.
