Blender Wallet claims to be hacked:
June 22, 2021 – Non-custodial crypto wallet Blender Wallet has been hacked. The hackers withdrew the amount of 100 BTC in total.
As a non-custodial service, Blender Wallet doesn’t store data about users on servers. The Blender Wallet team has immediately disabled registration and access to the wallets to protect users’ funds and make sure that newly generated seed phases won’t get in hacker’s hands.The executives promise to cover the losses from Blender Mixer’s reserves. Every user who has lost the money due to the hack will get the exact amount of money on their balance. Further information on compensation will be available at
https://blenderwallet.io and @BlenderWalletio_English Telegram channel.
“Over the course of investigation, we promise to figure out how hackers managed to hack a non-custodial solution, as we don’t store any data granting access to users’ balances on our servers. We initiated an internal investigation. The details of how hackers got access to users’ funds are still unclear,” commented the officials. "The whole crypto community, be it a regulated exchange or a mixer, should deploy all the forces against cybercrime, as it's users who get affected in the first place. And as a service we must do whatever we can to protect funds that we've been entrusted with."

This should ring all possible alarm bells! What if their non-custodial wallet wasn't hacked, but their accounts are? It sounds like a perfect phishing scenario to ask users for their seed phrase and steal there funds! Even if the hacking story is true, there are better ways to prove ownership than sending the seed phrase.
I've left
BlenderWallet negative feedback as a warning for now. Better safe than sorry.
This is also a big red flag:
All applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
It's like: quick, don't think, send your seed phrase!
