Fake Trust wallet seed migration email! Be careful from the hackers

[The Cryptovator]

Last 25 October, received mail regarding Trust Wallet seed migration. I forgot to post it here, but when checking mobile notifications today, that email drew attention from me. Although received in spam, I'm not sure why my iPhone is showing notifications again.

Just now I visited Trust Wallet, and there is no such thing as seed migration, and that’s not possible so far for the migration of the seed. I haven’t heard anything like seed migration in my crypto journey. The scammer sent links as well, and the email wasn’t from the Trust Wallet domain as well.

Here are all screenshots. I don’t even click the link due to my device being compromised. Read what they wrote.

Either clicking on the link will direct you to download a file or to type your email on the website. It will not immediately compromise your device. Your browser will also notify you of anything you want to download.

I guess it will be a link to a website that will allow people to type their seed phrase. Anyone that do that have let the scammers know their seed phrase which will be used to have access the the victims cryptocurrencies.

I hope newbies will learn from this. They should just not click on phishing links at all.

I suspect that the reason why the scammers are sending this kind of mail to people that are using Trust wallet in probably because of the recent PHP vulnerability issue. For people that are using Trust wallet and do not know that the wallet does not use PHP, they could fall prey to this kind of mail if they don't bother about confirmation and authenticity of this kind of mail. I know that when there is seriouse issue like this, the company will likely update it on their social media handle but when I checked Trust wallet X account, they already said said something about the PHP vulnerability.

We are aware of the recently disclosed PHP vulnerability.

Trust Wallet’s wallet apps and core infrastructure are not built on PHP. Users are unaffected and no action is required.

Some newbies who received that mail could fall victim if they don't bother to verify before acting.

Scammers are using different means to send us unsolicited links that could be a possible means of attacking us, this is not the first time they will be claiming to be from trust wallet and sending emails in this manner to their users, I even know of some people that don't make use of trust wallet and receive the same message or something similar in the past, we have to be more careful and not to release our email address on any random platform, I guess as much that is why the email landed on your spam box when it was sent.

Thanks for taking a bold step to share this vital information with everyone who may be concerned.
