Trezor investigates potential data breaches as users cite phishing attacks

Cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider Trezor has begun investigating a possible data breach that may have compromised users’ email addresses and other personal information.
Today, April 3rd, several users from the Crypto Twitter community warned about an ongoing email phishing campaign specifically targeting Trezor users via their registered email addresses.
Hey Trezor, are you aware of a phishing campaign? I just received this email with my actual email. It looked very legitimate. pic.twitter.com/GF0Od6llr2

In the ongoing attack, several Trezor users were contacted by unauthorized actors posing as the company with the ultimate intention of stealing funds by misleading unwary investors. As part of the attack, users received an email about downloading an app from the domain “trezor.us”, which is different from the official Trezor domain name “trezor.io”.
We’re investigating a potential data breach of an opt-in newsletter hosted on MailChimp.
A fraudulent data breach warning email is circulating. Do not open emails coming from noreply@trezor.us, it is a phishing domain.

Trezor initially suspected that the compromised email addresses belonged to a list of users who had signed up for newsletters hosted by an American email marketing service provider, Mailchimp.
Impressive, @Trezor, this is the best phishing attempt I’ve seen in years. I’m really lucky I don’t have Trezor because if I did I would probably actually download this update. pic.twitter.com/DaBN2Oix11
