Organisers of phishing attack on Ledger users move 107 BTC

107 BTC moved, obtained as a result of a phishing attack against Ledger users. The information comes from the Telegram channel Goldfoundinshit TM.

Hackers distributed the bitcoins across two addresses:

bc1qrzpl4y8qvpngkfqdh9apjs8maajp4fvkzk3exa — 51.9 BTC
bc1qr93x4pwnwk9cqtp8jj0myqkwrudh9a0acjqxjl — 55.4 BTC

Initially, the funds were accumulated at the address bc1q9g52wp96ndzma850jl2ncummwsxzrj0alwd6js.

According to the Bitcoin Abuse Database, as of November 2 the address contained 107.4 BTC ($1.5 million at the time).

Earlier in October Ledger users began receiving phishing emails, in which unknown actors claiming to be from the support service reported a supposed infection of Ledger Live by malware and offered to install an urgent update.

Victims linked the attack to the July personal-information leak affecting around one million users from a marketing database. However, the wallet developers said they could not yet confirm this hypothesis.

Ledger continues an internal investigation into the incident.
