scammers are forging support emails from hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger, in order to trick users into sharing their seed phrases under the guise of checking for security vulnerabilities. Ledger users have reported that phishing scammers are forging support emails from the cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider in order to trick users into revealing their wallet keys.

According to screenshots shared on X and a report from BleepingComputer on December 17th, the fake email claims that Ledger has suffered a "recent data leak" and encourages recipients to verify their private seed phrases under the guise of needing to "protect" their assets. The email appears to come from a legitimate support email from Ledger, but BleepingComputer reports that it was actually sent through an email marketing platform.
