Promote with Leviathan NewsPhiladelphia musician Garrett Dutton (G. Love) lost 5.92 BTC he'd stacked over a decade after downloading a fake Ledger Live app from Apple's Mac App Store while setting up a new computer. The phishing app prompted him to enter his 24-word seed phrase, and attackers drained the wallet instantly. ZachXBT traced the stolen funds flowing to KuCoin deposit addresses across nine transactions. Another reminder that Ledger will never ask for your seed phrase in software — and that Apple's app review process continues to let malicious crypto apps slip through.
