If you have received the fake Ledger scam text below, please do not click the link in it. The text, which claims you need to update the firmware because the old one has a bug, is a phishing scam. The link in the text goes to a fake Ledger website that tricks visitors into downloading malware.

The Ledger Firmware Update Scam Text

Dear [full name] Please visit us-ledger.com site to update Ledger firmware as the old one has a bug with the risk of losing assets

This is a scam. It is not the real ledger site. If you click on that link (DONT DO IT) you will see it takes you to a site designed to look exactly like Ledgers site.

If you download that firmware.... Youre going to lose it all.
