Scammers exploit SafePal's earlier data leak: sending forged letters with phishing QR codes to Italian customers

According to Crypto Briefing, users of hardware wallet manufacturer SafePal are facing phishing letter attacks after a customer data breach. Attackers used previously leaked data to send fake letters containing QR codes to some Italian users, claiming firmware security issues, with the QR codes directing to phishing websites.

SafePal disclosed this breach in August, affecting approximately 39,798 customers. The leaked information includes names, addresses, and purchase details, but private keys and mnemonic phrases were not affected. As of now, SafePal has confirmed that these letters are scams and has taken down over 30 related fraudulent websites. The company has previously notified affected customers and implemented preventive measures, such as limiting the data retention period to 90 days.
