Ledger Discord Drama: Mods Get Hacked, Users Get Robbed, Chaos Ensues!

So Ledger’s Discord got breached. Shocking, right? Moderator gets hacked, hacker starts dropping links everywhere, “Hey, come verify your seed phrase here, it’ll be fun, just harmless internet stuff!” 🥸 Yeah. Because the internet always wants you to be safe. Next thing you know, your crypto’s doing the cha-cha into a scammer’s wallet.

And here’s the real kicker—a bot, controlled by this genius, blasts out messages, “URGENT! Vulnerability! Enter your secret codes here!” Urgent! If urgency was actually your problem, you wouldn’t be running Discord from a 2005 Dell in your pajamas, would ya? 🙄

But wait, there’s more: real users (apparently the only people with a pulse in this whole story) try yelling, “Uh, guys, this is a scam!” But our hacker, with his freshly acquired god powers, just starts muting and banning them. “Oh, you don’t like fraud with your Discord? *BAN!*” What a mensch.

Happy to hear I am not the only one who got booted as well for peace of mind, although sorry it happened to you also.
But yeah, 100% sketchy, especially when not also posted on X by @Ledger

Eventually, Ledger wakes up, takes its coffee, and says, “Let’s, uh, do something.” They finally take away the baddie’s keys, chase out the bot, report the fake site, and probably triple-check permissions like a grandma double-locking the front door after the horse is already out of the barn. 🚪🐴

Quintin Boatwright from Ledger (who sounds like someone you’d trust with your lunch order, let alone your savings) says it was handled quickly. Sure, sure, and my uncle “handled” Thanksgiving dinner in five hours when the turkey was still frozen at noon.

But hey, now there are “extra protections.” What are they? Who knows! Invisible fences? Garlic? Vague promises?

Scams on Scams—Everybody Wants Your Money 💸

And if you thought that was it—no, no. Last month, real Ledger customers got handwritten ransom notes, basically. “Scan this code, give us your secrets,” complete with a company logo and everything! They’re recycling the 2020 data breach; it’s basically vintage at this point.

That leak exposed—let’s see, names, phone numbers, home addresses—probably blood types, shoe sizes, pet names for good measure. Some people even got “replacement” Ledger devices in the mail, tampered with. If a stranger sends you a random USB stick, maybe don’t plug it in, you know?

So…What’s the Score?

Did anyone actually lose money in the Discord mess? Who knows! Ledger’s not saying, Cointelegraph’s asking, everyone’s shrugging. 🧐

But let’s spell it out. Never tell anybody your recovery phrase. Not on Discord. Not in messages. Not in a gift basket. Not even if your grandma Facetimes you and insists it’s for her birthday. And DEFINITELY not when someone’s acting all panicky about it being “urgent.”

Unless you enjoy living dangerously, then hey, don’t let me stop you. But if you want your crypto, just… don’t. Capisce?
