Trezor, BitBox users targeted in newsletter phishing spree

Crypto hardware wallet maker Trezor says the third-party email service provider it uses to send newsletters has been breached, and customers are now being sent phishing messages. There is good and bad news. The good news is that the emails appear easy to spot. They are not bespoke to each recipient and resemble a spray-and-pray …

[Jedit]

"The good news is that the emails appear easy to spot."

The bad news is that if you could spot an obvious scam, you wouldn't own a hardware crypto wallet.

Britbox

I was confused why people in the colonies watching Great British Bake Off and old episodes of Morse were a likely target for crypto thieves

Re: Britbox

I think Britbox only broadcast outside the UK. Wouldn't it be illegal for them to accept foreign donations ?

Depends.

I was disappointed by Trezor's initial reaction on their website: on the day I received the email there was simply a green warning bar at the top of web page saying "watch put - our domain's been compromised" - and nothing else. Now it's all gone away (allegedly) - "nothing to see here, move along" as they say...
