Ledger wrestles back Discord control after phishing chaos—because even crypto’s ’fort Knox’ needs better bouncers
Ledger’s security team just pulled off a digital hostage rescue—reclaiming their Discord server after attackers turned it into a phishing playground. The breach lasted just hours, but exposed the ironic fragility of web3’s ’trustless’ infrastructure.
Wake-up call: Even hardware wallet giants aren’t immune to old-school social engineering. Attackers bypassed 2FA protections (how? classic admin token theft) to blast fraudulent wallet drainers to 200K+ members. Cue the inevitable NFT ’security audits’ from grifters capitalizing on the FUD.
Silver lining? Ledger’s response time—under 4 hours from breach to lockdown. Faster than most TradFi banks process a wire transfer. Next move? Probably another nine-figure raise to ’solve security’ while retail investors keep getting rekt.
