Hackers using fake Ledger Live app to steal seed phrases and drain crypto

Cybercriminals are using fake Ledger Live apps to drain macOS users’ crypto through malware that steals seed phrases, a cybersecurity firm warns.  The malware replaces the legitimate Ledger Live app on victims’ devices and then prompts the user to input their seed phrase through a phony pop-up message, a team from Moonlock said in a May 22 report. “Initially, attackers could use the clone to steal passwords, notes, and wallet details to get a glimpse of the wallet’s assets, but they had no way to extract the funds,” the Moonlock team said. “Now, within a year, they have learned to steal seed phrases and empty the wallets of their victims,” it added source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/hackers-fake-ledger-apps-to-steal-seed-phrases?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
