Trezor, a provider of cryptocurrency hardware wallets, is currently investigating a phishing campaign after users reported receiving phishing emails. The campaign was brought to light by an anonymous blockchain investigator named ZachXBT, who alerted users to the attack on his Telegram channel. The attack targeted Trezor customers and allegedly involved a breach of the company’s email account used for purchasing wallets. The phishing email, similar to previous attacks, prompts users to download a firmware update to fix a software issue. However, the email is malicious and aims to compromise users’ wallets. Trezor’s brand ambassador, Josef Tetek, confirmed that the company is aware of the campaign and is actively addressing it. He emphasized that Trezor never asks for users’ recovery seed, PIN, or passphrase and warned against entering this information into any website or app. Phishing attacks in the cryptocurrency space have been on the rise, with a 40% increase reported in 2022. It is crucial for users to remain vigilant and follow the proper security protocols when dealing with their cryptocurrency assets.
