Fake data breach alerts used to steal Ledger cryptocurrency wallets

A phishing scam is underway targeting Ledger wallet users with fake data breach notifications used to steal cryptocurrency from recipients. Ledger is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet that allows you to store, manage, and sell cryptocurrency. In July 2020, Ledger suffered a data breach after a website vulnerability allowed threat actors to access customers’ contact details. These emails contain links to domain names that allow the attackers to impersonate the legitimate Ledger.com site using accented or Cyrillic characters. Phishing site prompts users to download a fake Ledger Live application from the Ledger phishing site.
