The scammers targeted users who had subscribed to Trezor’s newsletter, claiming that there would be an update to the blockchains of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and TRON (TRX). With this fake update announcement, they aimed to steal users’ assets and private keys.
The Trezor team responded quickly, disabling the malicious link in the email text and limiting the threat’s reach. The Trezor company warned users to immediately delete any emails containing harmful links, and reminded them that all funds are safe and that users should not share their recovery words or security keys with anyone.
The company has recently been in the news after a cyber attack resulted in the theft of customer information by hackers. The company is increasing security measures and urging its users to be more careful about such fraudulent attempts. Trezor users who want to store their cryptocurrencies securely are advised to always be on the lookout for suspicious emails and to verify official update announcements.
