🚨 A fake Ledger Live app just wiped out a user’s entire life savings.


American musician Garrett Dutton downloaded a fake Ledger app from Apple’s Mac App Store.
He entered his 24 word seed phrase..
5.92 $BTC, roughly $424,000 at the time gone.
ZachXBT traced the stolen Bitcoin straight to exchange deposit addresses and publicly called out the breach.
The fake app had already made it past Apple’s entire review process.
No comment from Apple yet.
Progress in crypto security is real, but the attack surface keeps evolving faster than the safeguards.
Apple needs to fix this gap immediately.
Users need to stop treating seed phrases like passwords.
Your keys, your coins. Always.
