The message claimed that Ledger had identified a new vulnerability and required immediate action.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, the link led to a phishing page designed to collect seed phrases, which are critical for accessing cryptocurrency wallets.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in April, scammers sent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ledger-warns-customers-about-fake-security-letters-demanding-recovery-phrases\/\">physical letters<\/a><\/strong> to Ledger hardware wallet owners, trying to trick them into revealing their seed phrases to gain access and drain their wallets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

Quintin Boatwright, a Ledger team member, shared an update directly in the Discord server.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOne of our contracted moderators had their account compromised, which allowed a malicious bot to post scam links in one channel,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe issue was quickly contained: the compromised account was removed, the bot was deleted, the website was reported, and all relevant permissions were reviewed and secured.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, some community members noted delays in response. According to messages shared on X, the attacker may have used moderator tools to mute or ban users who were trying to report the scam. That could have slowed down Ledger\u2019s reaction time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
