Recently Binance official announcement posted about phishing attack.
Phishing attacks are a growing concern in the crypto industry, accounting for over $46 million worth of cryptocurrency stolen during September.
A new wave of scam emails is targeting Ledger users, attempting to steal their cryptocurrency holdings.
The new wave of scam emails aims to convince users to activate a so-called security feature, “Ledger Clear Signing,” by Oct. 31 to continue using their Ledger device.
The emails — sent from addresses not associated with Ledger — direct users to a malicious link to activate the fake security feature. The phishing email states:
Phishing scams deceive users into willingly sharing their account details with scammers. Crypto users should avoid clicking suspicious links or providing any personal information to unknown sources.
Phishing attacks are becoming increasingly common in the crypto space. In May, a trader lost $71 million worth of crypto in the year’s most high-profile phishing attack. The attacker tricked the trader into sending 99% of their funds to the attacker’s address.
