New fake Ledger data breach emails try to steal crypto wallets
A new Ledger phishing campaign is underway that pretends to be a data breach notification asking you to verify your recovery phrase, which is then stolen and used to steal your cryptocurrency.
Ledger is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet that allows you to store, manage, and sell cryptocurrency. The funds in these wallets are secured using 24-word recovery phrases or 12 and 18-word phrases generated by other wallets.
Anyone who knows your Ledger recovery phrase can use it to access the funds within the wallet. Therefore, recovery phrases must always be kept offline and never shared with anyone to prevent cryptocurrency funds from being stolen.
