Security News > 2022 > April > Sophisticated phishing attacks steal Trezor’s hardware wallets
Trezor recently published a warning against a new phishing campaign targeting its users.
Figure A. Once in possession of a list of email addresses belonging only to real Trezor customers, the attackers moved to the next step.
Figure B. As you can see, the email states that Trezor suffered from a severe security incident that might lead to cryptocurrency asset theft.
A trained eye might see a little dot under the "e" character from trezor : "ẹ". This technique of using special Unicode characters has been a tactic for years and is known as a Unicode domain phishing attack.
A careful user might also have noticed that the real website for Trezor Suite is actually suite.
As for the cryptocurrency hardware wallets from Trezor, the recovery phrase should never be typed in any software or website.
