Crypto wallet owners using Ledger hardware wallets are being targeted through physical mail, with scammers impersonating the company in a campaign designed to steal recovery seed phrases. The operation uses printed letters that look official, complete with Ledger branding, a reference number, and a fake security notice warning recipients about an urgent “Quantum Resistance” update.
The letter includes a QR code that routes victims to a phishing website. From there, users are asked to enter their 24-word recovery seed phrase, the single piece of information that gives full access to a crypto wallet. Once entered, attackers can immediately drain stored cryptocurrency assets.
