🟠Even cold wallet holders aren’t safe from old-school social engineering. Over the weekend, Ledger’s #discord got compromised — all thanks to a hacked moderator account. The attacker deployed a bot that spammed users with fake alerts about a critical Ledger vulnerability and phishing links, urging them to “verify” their seed phrase.
🟠Making things worse, the hijacked mod account started banning and muting members who tried to warn the community. Classic Discord chaos. According to Ledger, the situation was swiftly contained — the bot was removed, access revoked, #scam links taken down. But whether damage was already done? Still unclear.
🟠And it’s not the first phishing drama around #Ledger . Just last month, scammers were sending physical letters to Ledger owners, complete with company branding and fake QR codes asking for seed phrases. All leftovers from the infamous 2020 Ledger data leak.
💀 Reality check? Your cold wallet won’t save you if you sign, click, or enter your seed into the wrong place. Always triple-check links. And remember: Ledger will NEVER ask for your seed phrase. Not on Discord, not by mail, not anywhere.
