Scammers impersonating Ledger, a hardware wallet manufacturer, have begun sending physical letters to crypto users, urging them to 'validate' their wallets or risk losing access to their funds. This alarming phishing attempt was highlighted by BitGo CEO Mike Belshe, who shared an image of the scam letter containing a QR code likely linking to a malicious site. Troy Lindsey, another industry figure, echoed the concerns, warning users against falling for such scams. The incident underscores the evolving tactics of scammers targeting the crypto community. Ledger has not responded to requests for comment on the matter. This latest phishing attempt follows other significant attacks in the crypto space, where $330 million in Bitcoin was lost due to a phishing scam. Additionally, Coinbase recently faced a data breach due to customer service contractor leaks, which led to threats from scammers demanding ransom. The ongoing phishing threats serve as a stark reminder for cryptocurrency users to remain vigilant against potential scams.
