Beware! Likely Trezor phising scam going on!

All Cryptocurrencies

Tonight I got the email below. I'm only subscribed to their newsletter and don't own one so getting the email was no surprising but it fits all the marks of a phishing email including suspect button with weird link and previous mails all were from trezor.io. This one is from trezor.us (makes no sense at it is not an US company). The email is inducing fear and requesting a PIN change. DO NOT ENTER YOUR PIN EVER ON LINKS FROM EMAILS. Also there is no reference to this on their home page so I assume it is a phishing attempt and not a real warning.

Here the content that really makes me believe this is a pretty good phishing scam:

We regret to inform you that Trezor has experienced a security incident involving data belonging to 106,856 of our customers, and that the wallet associated with your e-mail address (my correct email address) is within those affected by the breach.

Namely, on Saturday, April 2nd, 2022, our security team discovered that one of the Trezor Suite administrative servers had been accessed by an unauthorized malicious actor.

At this moment, it's technically impossible to accurately assess the scope of the data breach. Due to these circumstances, if you've recently accessed your wallet using Trezor Suite, we must assume that your cryptocurrency assets are at risk of being stolen.

In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to make our customers aware of this incident before malicious actors could utilize this information to their detriment. We felt time was of the essence, and we are expediently working through our investigation.

If you're receiving this e-mail, it's because you've been affected by the breach. In order to protect your assets, please download the latest version of Trezor Suite and follow the instructions to set up a new PIN for your wallet.

Sincerely,

Trezor

Note this is my "spam email address" which I use for newsletters or just stuff you have to give an email address but don't want to but your "real" one. So not surprising I'm getting tons of phishing and spam mails. Eg. it doesn't mean Trezor got hacked and the got my email that way.
