Crypto Security Alert: $600K Seized in Ledger Phishing Scam
U.S. authorities have seized over $600,000 in crypto linked to a phishing attack targeting Ledger hardware wallet users. Attackers used fake “security letters” to trick victims into revealing access, proving once again that social engineering is the biggest risk in crypto, not the wallet itself.
Key Insights:
→ This was NOT a Ledger hack, user manipulation was the entry point
→ Funds were traced via blockchain analysis and successfully recovered
→ Highlights rising trend of offline + advanced phishing attacks
Stay Safe:
→ Never share

How bad is it?

🔹 95% of B
