Trezor, a maker of crypto hardware wallets, has issued a warning about phishing schemes that attempted to deceive users with fake emails posing as legitimate responses from the support team.
Scam Emails Looked Like Real Messages from Trezor Support
The scammers used Trezor’s real support form to send fake requests. This caused the system to send automatic replies to real users. The emails looked real and seemed to come from Trezor support, which made it easier for the scammers to trick people and steal private information.
Trezor Reported No Data Breach, But Caution Is Needed
In the post, Trezor confirmed that its systems were not breached and that the contact form is still secure. However, the email addresses used in the attack were gathered from earlier data breaches. The company stated that it is working on new ways to stop similar abuse in the future.
Phishing Scams Become More Rampant
Phishing scams have become one of the most common attacks scammers use to target crypto wallet users. These attacks don’t break into the blockchain, which is still safe, but trick people into giving away their private information.
Given the rising number of phishing incidents, Trezor and other crypto wallet manufacturers are urging users to pay attention to the security of their data and to be cautious of such messages.
