some other oddities that help as signals: - the mailing envelope had a from address in Michigan (not an official Ledger address) - also, while you shouldn't click through on the QR code, when I checked its URL it led to a .vg domain: British Virgin Islands -- and not an official Ledger domain stay safe out there! When in doubt, don't take the bait to rush to action -- instead take a breather and proceed carefully 3/3

- Ledger never handles firmware updates this way -- only ever on its own website / software This is the most important: it should set off internal alarms when you get contacted via phone / text / email / snail mail, and not through an authenticated login or otherwise usual flow with the product also Ledger keeps a handy phishing website to help you spot and report known phishing attempts (this one's there too): ledger.com/phishing-campa… - the letter expresses urgency in "upgrading" by the end of the month -- typical of phishing to get you in a rush so you don't stop and think about how this might be phishing (or go check the website above, or do a web search, etc) 2/3

spear phishing continues to get more and more sophisticated, and I had an impressively compelling one arrive via mail this weekend pretending to be Ledger. Lots of detail (my name, address, timely reference to quantum computing, legit Ledger physical address & website links, Ledger devices, etc) is correct and incredibly convincing -- but there's a few things to catch so you don’t get got: (my info and malicious QR code redacted) 1/3

In the next two weeks, the House of Representatives will vote on the most important piece of crypto legislation to date: FIT21. We’ve long called for regulatory clarity that protects consumers and innovation and the FIT21 Act will do just that. Americans have embraced digital assets, but the current regulatory approach too often limits innovation and privacy without actually addressing the solutions needed to protect consumers or tackle illicit activity. FIT21 will help stamp out scams, ensure oversight of crypto exchanges, and protect American consumers by implementing strict rules on crypto trading. FIT21 has bipartisan support because it tackles these issues. I encourage everyone who believes in the power of blockchain technology to support this legislation. The best thing to do is get in touch with your local representative and tell them to support FIT21. @standwithcrypto offers helpful resources to find and contact your local representative here: standwithcrypto.org/action/email
