⚡ Fake Ledger Live Apps Are Stealing Crypto — Here’s How to Stay Safe
🧭 A new wave of malware is targeting macOS users through counterfeit versions of Ledger Live, draining wallets within seconds.
🔍 Cybersecurity firm Moonlock has uncovered multiple malware campaigns replacing the real Ledger Live with a cloned version. Once installed, the fake app prompts users to enter their 24-word seed phrase — handing full access to hackers.
💼 This isn’t random. Hackers are leveling up. Using Atomic macOS Stealer, found on over 2,800 compromised websites, they grab personal data and replace legitimate apps. Moonlock confirms the scam has been active since August — and growing smarter.
📈 On dark web forums, “anti-Ledger” malware is being sold with promises of new phishing features. While some tools are incomplete, updates are expected soon. The message is clear: the war on hardware wallet trust is escalating.
🎯 Crypto isn’t just volatile — it’s vulnerable. Never enter your seed phrase outside your hardware device. No popup, alert, or warning should ever request it. And always download Ledger Live directly from the official website.
Your wallet’s security is only as strong as your habits. Don’t let slick clones outsmart you.
