A significant rise in phishing emails targeting Trezor users has escalated fears within the crypto community. Many users report daily attempts to compromise their unique email addresses associated with Trezor, raising questions about the platform's security measures.
While Trezor is known for promoting security through open-source firmware, concerns among users are intensifying. Users who created dedicated email accounts exclusively for Trezor-related activities are seeing a drastic spike in phishing attempts. One user shared their experience, stating, "Iโve had two today!" Another disclosed, "Four scam emails in the last two days, all caught by spam filter."
Interestingly, some users are tying this increase to older breaches. One noted that their email was part of the 2022 Mailchimp breach, speculating that these phishing attempts might stem from that incident.
The community's sentiment is largely negative, with many demanding more communication from Trezor. Users are expressing urgency for the company to clarify potential data breaches. "Trezor needs to update us or else Iโm moving to another HW wallet," warned one frustrated customer.
Echoing these sentiments, another user fearfully pondered, "If there hasnโt been a breach, how are scammers targeting my address?"
In the midst of these concerns, some have proposed solutions. Suggestions include using unique or disposable email addresses for more effective tracking of unwanted emails. One user mentioned creating a single-use email for orders starting in June with no spam to report so far, telling others this practice may enhance security.
โณ Users report receiving as many as 30 phishing emails daily.
โฝ Calls for transparency from Trezor are urgent.
โป "The email didn't look fake, but the domain was off," noted a user signaling phishing red flags.
As frustrations mount, Trezor's reputation hinges on its response to these alarming security concerns. Users expect reassurance and timely updates, or risk migrating to more secure alternatives in a fragile crypto landscape.
