I got the most suspicious text "phishing" attempt on Monday morning (early, the day after Easter), supposedly from our priest asking for help with an errand as he was going into a "meeting". 😂 I mean, do priests even work on the day after Easter? 🤔

📬 Hackers Are Literally Mailing You Scam Letters 📬

Threat actors are sending physical letters through postal mail pretending to be from Trezor and Ledger, manufacturers of cryptocurrency hardware wallets. The letters use official-looking branding and urgent language to trick recipients into revealing their wallet recovery phrases on fake websites. The scam represents a sophisticated blend of physical and digital social engineering.
