 A phishing email is being sent out impersonating Blockstream. As we investigate, please remember:

1️⃣ DO NOT click on any suspicious emails claiming to be from Blockstream. Blockstream will NEVER ask for personal information via email.

2️⃣ NEVER enter your seed phrase online or share it with anyone, even if they claim to be from the Blockstream support team.





You should only update your Jade firmware through the #BlockstreamGreen wallet application or our dedicated firmware website ⬇️

 We are still investigating the issue. Early indicators, like customers who made purchases from our store not receiving emails, suggest this could be a targeted phishing attempt against Bitcoin users or a broader spam campaign. Similar emails from the same source are also targeting services from several companies that have previously offered Bitcoin-related products.

 I didn’t get this email either. 

But Reddit has a number of posts talking about similar activities with all types of wallets and exchanges. Mostly in the past month.

 We are actively collaborating with other companies to take-down the ongoing phishing campaign. 

So far via the registrar, we were able to deactivate and then take possession of the http://secure-blockstream.com domain, which was implicated in the phishing efforts. 

Our team is currently investigating the source of this data to assess whether additional information has been compromised. 

Preliminary results are inconclusive, as we've encountered examples that don't match any specific data set. 

If you've received such a phishing email, it would be helpful if you would please forward it and any information you think maybe relevant to support@blockstream.com
