Binance founder Changpeng Zhao today issued an important security alert on the hacking of the Ledger Discord administrator account. He pointed out that the attacker hacked into the official Ledger Discord administrator account, forged security bugs, and induced users to go to the phishing website to submit 24-word mnemonic. Zhao Changpeng particularly emphasized: "No matter who the other party is, never hand over your private key to restore the mnemonic," and pointed out that "the social network account of the encryption company is often the weakest security link."
In this attack, the hackers carefully designed phishing messages with false compensation schemes, falsely claiming that there are vulnerabilities in the Ledger security system that could lead to the disclosure of user mnemonics. It is worth noting that the phishing domain used by the hackers is highly confusing. Zhao Changpeng's warning highlights the current risks of new types of social engineering attacks facing the crypto industry, especially the escalating threat of hijacking official communication channels.
