Dear CoolWallet Community,

We'd like to notify you of an old but effective phishing scam which has recently resurfaced and is targeting Ledger, MEW and Jaxx users.

Some innocent searches like "MEW phone support" will direct Google users to a website that provides a fake phone number. When the user calls the number, a scammer will answer who will impersonate a legitimate cryptocurrency company in order to steal the user's private key or seed recovery wallet.

Read about the Ledger and MEW phone phishing scam.

Please note:

We have no knowledge of any phishing scams currently targeting CoolWallet S users, so there's no reason to be alarmed. We are just warning our users to be careful when getting in touch with us.

Important: CoolBitX/CoolWallet does not provide any customer phone support

For security and logistical reasons, CoolBitX, the company making the CoolWallet, doesn't offer phone support for customers. This is in line with industry standards as followed by almost all crypto service providers, including Ledger and Trezor.

If you see a customer support phone number from us... It's FAKE.

Recent reports of stolen crypto assets involving some Ledger users have raised concerns about hardware wallet supply chain security.

According to public reports, Ledger is investigating losses reported by users who purchased devices through CryptoBilis, a reseller in Southeast Asia. Ledger has also requested that the reseller temporarily suspend sales and shipments while the investigation continues.

The full attack method, scope of impact, and responsibility have yet to be conclusively established.

The incident highlights an important security consideration: Protecting private keys inside a secure chip is essential, but hardware wallet security must also account for the possibility of physical tampering before a device reaches its owner.
