Just got this security warning.
Ledger's Discord admin account was hacked. The scammer falsely claimed a security flaw and urged users to enter their recovery phrases on a phishing site.
Lessons:
1. Never give up your private key recovery phrases no matter who is doing the asking.
2. Social network accounts for a crypto company are often the weakest links.
