A phishing email scam has been reported to spam the XRP Ledger community, purporting to be sent by Ripple, advertising "Stimulus package launched for XRP holders in order to mitigate the economic downturn" or "Incentives and Support for XRP holders".
These malicious emails are advertising a free XRP give-away as an act to a quicker economic recovery after the coronavirus pandemic.
Recipients are provided with a button to login and claim the bonus, by supposedly whitelisting their XRP Ledger wallet addresses. By doing so they provide attackers with their wallets secrets and the attackers are able to withdraw the wallet balances.
We strongly advise our users to ignore the instructions in the email and not to provide any of their XRPL wallets secrets to the mentioned sites.
It is important to always check the email origin and the URL of the website connected to the link provided in the received emails.
Examples of the reported emails:
Stimulus package launched for XRP holders
Incentives and Support for XRP holders
