A recent surge in phishing attacks targeting Ledger users has raised alarms within the cryptocurrency community. Malicious emails are urging recipients to activate a non-existent feature called 'Ledger Clear Signing' by October 31. These emails are reportedly originating from unverified addresses, raising concerns about their legitimacy. In response to the growing risks associated with crypto wallets, Coinspect has announced the development of an objective Wallet Security Ranking aimed at helping users assess wallet security. This initiative comes amid warnings that many existing wallet rankings may be influenced by paid promotions rather than genuine security assessments. The rise in phishing attempts highlights the ongoing challenges in ensuring user safety in the crypto space, as experts emphasize the need for improved security measures and user education.
