Ripple CTO Emeritus Exposes Suspected Wallet Scam Targeting Recovery Phrases

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has raised a security warning after receiving a suspicious notification on an Android device that appeared to come from the SecuX wallet app. "Hey, SecuX wallet, it looks like your Android app sent me a notification that's a scam," Schwartz wrote. An X user surprised by the development told Schwartz not to tap it. The Ripple CTO Emeritus said he had tapped it, probably out of curiosity, to see what would happen, and it launched the app normally. Things didn't appear unusual until he probed further and checked his notification history, which exposed the bait. In his notification history, he saw a message that included a link to a scam page that required him to enter his 12/24 words.
