Blockstream faces calls to alert users about a phishing email that appears to exploit a firmware vulnerability in its hardware wallets.
A user on social media platform X urged the Bitcoin infrastructure company to warn customers about the malicious email. The message was directed at Blockstream CEO Adam Back and the company’s official account.
“You guys should warn people about this phishing email. I’m guessing the firmware sends funds to some other address,” the user wrote.
The warning suggests the phishing attempt targets Blockstream hardware wallet users by potentially compromising device firmware to redirect crypto assets to unauthorized addresses. The company has not yet publicly responded to the alert or issued a formal warning to customers.
