Ripple CTO Emeritus Schwartz Flags Wallet Scam Targeting Recovery Phrases

  • —The notification claimed a "critical vulnerability" in SecuX and urged immediate wallet verification
  • —The link led to a phishing page requesting the 12/24-word recovery phrase
  • —SecuX ran emergency app maintenance on October 16 without disclosing the cause
  • —The origin of the notification remains unknown: the app, a third-party service or another source
Why it matters: Push-notification phishing bypasses familiar checks, and a stolen seed phrase hands full control of a wallet's funds to attackers.
