Zhao Changpeng warns Ledger of security incident: Social accounts become the weakest link in encryption security
According to online reports, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng issued an important security warning today regarding the hacking of Ledger Discord administrator accounts. He pointed out that the attacker hacked into Ledger's official Discord administrator account to forge security vulnerability announcements and induce users to go to phishing websites to submit 24-word mnemonic words. Zhao Changpeng particularly emphasized: "No matter who the other party is, never hand over your private key to recover mnemonic words," and pointed out that "encryption companies 'Social networks accounts are often the weakest security link." In this attack, the hacker carefully designed phishing messages containing false compensation plans, falsely claiming that there were loopholes in the Ledger security system that could lead to the disclosure of user mnemonics. It is worth noting that the phishing domain names used by hackers are highly confusing. Zhao Changpeng's warning highlights the current risks of new social engineering attacks facing the crypto industry, especially the escalating threat of hijacking against official communication channels.
