Trezor warns users of phishing emails costing millions in crypto scams
Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor has issued a warning about a phishing campaign targeting its users through fake customer support emails.
According to a statement on Trezor’s official X account, attackers exploited the company’s contact form to submit fraudulent requests, which triggered automated replies that appeared to come from legitimate Trezor support.
The company emphasised that it “will never ask for your wallet backup” and urged users to keep such information private and offline at all times.
Trezor confirmed that its internal systems were not breached and that the phishing campaign did not involve unauthorised access to its email database.
The company stated that its contact form remains secure and that the phishing issue has been contained.
Phishing remains one of the most persistent threats in the cryptocurrency sector, often targeting individuals with substantial crypto holdings.
Mehdi Farooq, an investment partner at Hypersphere, recently reported losing a significant portion of his life savings in a spearphishing incident.
In another case from late May, one victim lost $2.6 million in stablecoins in two separate phishing attacks within a three-hour window.
Such incidents reflect the broader risk posed by sophisticated phishing campaigns aimed at exploiting trust in well-known crypto platforms.
Both platforms have since implemented enhanced security protocols to guard against similar breaches.
Trezor’s latest alert underscores the need for ongoing caution among crypto users, especially when engaging with support teams.
The company advised users to verify all communication channels and remain sceptical of any request involving private keys or recovery phrases.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.
Amazon (AMZN.US) CEO: AWS cloud computing capacity is fully booked until 2027, and a large amount of capacity has already been committed by customers for 2028

AI trading collapse: Will Anthropic postpone its "Super IPO"? The "scheduled listing date" in mid-November is approaching.
The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
