Trezor, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider, is currently investigating a phishing campaign after users reported receiving phishing emails. The campaign involves sending emails to Trezor customers, inviting them to download a firmware update for their devices. The phishing email was sent from the email address amministrazione@sideagroup.com. Trezor’s brand ambassador, Josef Tetek, emphasized that the company never asks for users’ recovery seed, PIN, or passphrase. He also warned users not to enter their recovery seed directly into any website or app and to only follow the instructions on a connected Trezor hardware wallet. Despite efforts to curb such scams, cryptocurrency investors continue to be targeted by phishing attacks. In 2022, the number of cryptocurrency phishing attacks increased by 40%.
