**Crypto Alert: Ledger Users Targeted by Phishing Scams**
Ledger users are being warned about a phishing scam that mimics the crypto wallet provider's support email. The scam claims a "recent data breach" and urges users to verify their seed phrase to "safeguard" assets. This fake email, sent via an email marketing platform, leads to a convincing Ledger-branded site that asks for users' seed phrases, potentially giving scammers full access to wallets.
Ledger advises users that they will never request a 24-word recovery phrase and stresses that any such request is a scam. This incident follows a recent case where a Ledger user lost $2.5 million, believed to be due to a phishing scam. Security experts warn of increased phishing attempts during the holiday season, as scammers aim to exploit the rise in online transactions. Stay vigilant and protect your crypto assets.
