Security Alert Issued as Binance CEO’s Warning Highlights Phishing Attack on Ledger Discord

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) publicly alerted users to a phishing scam targeting the Ledger Discord admin account, where attackers impersonated official messages to deceive individuals and steal sensitive wallet information. The attack exploited the trust of Ledger’s community by mimicking official communication channels. The scammers’ message falsely claimed a security vulnerability in Ledger’s systems, leading users towards a malicious website designed to capture their private key recovery phrases. CZ urged users to never reveal these phrases to anyone, emphasizing that social network accounts are often vulnerable targets for cybercriminals.
