⚠️ Hackers are now exploiting the Ledger incident to launch a new scam aimed at draining your crypto wallets.
After millions of dollars were recently stolen from physically modified Ledger devices, scammers are now taking advantage of users’ panic.
SlowMist is warning about a fake security update campaign that uses Ledger’s official visual branding to look completely legitimate.
Victims receive a message telling them that an urgent update is needed to protect their device from spyware.
The fake process features different Ledger models, an authenticity check, and an “Update Now” button, making it look like a genuine security procedure.
Never start an update from a link received by email, and never enter your recovery phrase on a website or computer.
A genuine update is performed through the official Ledger app.
