According to BlockBeats, SlowMist has issued a security alert regarding a recent phishing scam targeting cryptocurrency users. Several individuals have reported receiving text messages disguised as communications from well-known trading platforms. These messages contain a withdrawal verification code and urge recipients to call a specified number if they did not initiate the transaction.
Upon calling the number, users are informed of a supposed 'security vulnerability' and are transferred to individuals claiming to be 'hardware wallet support.' These scammers then direct users to visit phishing websites and enter their mnemonic phrases, resulting in the theft of assets from their cold wallets. Users are advised to remain vigilant and take precautions to protect their assets.
