Several hours ago Bitboy's Twitter account was compromised in an apparent sim-swapping attack. The attacker immediately began sharing links to a phishing website:

The address that was granted token approvals by this phishing contract is now showing inflows of $760,000 within the same time period:

So far the biggest individual losses are:
$35.6k in BEN
$31.9k in HEX
$30.4k in USDC
$8.5k in JESUS
$8k in 0X0
$6.5k USDT
So we all know about the ledger stuff and most likely most are sick of hearing it. But I figure this is worth noting. https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/1464ocs/my_post_was_removed_for_some_reason/
From this it looks like Ledger is still pushing the Ledger Recovery service, the update which allows it, but still doesn't have the stuff open source like they said they would. Meaning once again, don't trust words without action behind it.
For those of you who think "well you have to opt in". As far as we know, the firmware itself gives the ability and you don't then update your Ledger again when opt in to get this ability. Meaning the back door is already there and if ever used for any reason (like if you got tricked or whatever). Then basically the stuff is there to take the master private key off the device.
And note, if you assume it doesn't do this. Fine, but where is the open source code so we can verify?
For those thinking, well I won't update. The problem with this is slowly you will lose the ability to do anything with it.
