✍️ Exploitation by hackers of the Trezor website and sending phishing messages

The company "Trezor," manufacturer of hardware wallets, issued a security warning about hackers exploiting the contact form on its website to impersonate the technical support team and send phishing messages to users.

The company clarified that this security breach has been contained, affirming that it does not ask its customers to share their wallet backups via email.

According to the statement, hackers exploited the contact form to send messages suggesting they were issued by official support channels, aiming to collect sensitive information such as wallet seed phrases.

The company urged users to be cautious of any messages requesting private keys or backup information.

This incident comes after a series of similar security incidents, including the breach of the "CoinMarketCap" site on June 20, where unauthorized pop-ups appeared asking visitors to verify their wallets.

The "Cointelegraph" site also suffered a similar attack during which phishing pop-ups promoting fake cryptocurrency distributions aimed to trick users into linking their wallets.
