Ledger Discord Server Targeted in Security Breach, Users Urged to Exercise Caution

A security breach on Ledger’s official Discord server has raised concerns among users. The attack involved a compromised moderator account that was used to distribute malicious links and phishing schemes. A bot created using the hacked account allegedly spread fake warnings about system vulnerabilities, directing users to a fraudulent website for verification of their seed phrases. The hacker also used moderator powers to silence those raising concern. Ledger quickly took action to remove the compromised account, disable the bot, report the phishing site, and review server permissions. While the team managed to contain the breach, some users experienced similar issues on social media. 2023 saw a surge in scams targeting Ledger customers who received fraudulent letters seemingly sent from Ledger, containing seed phrases. This latest incident highlights the importance of user vigilance. A reminder: never share your recovery phrase under any circumstances and be wary of urgent requests that seem suspicious.
