Ledger has had some serious difficulties, especially with Ledger ConnectKit, which is responsible for connecting Ledger Live to applications. The problem is that using the library to manage the connection to Ledger Live leaves your frontend vulnerable, exposing users to the risk of losing money after authorization. Experts recommend temporarily discontinuing use of the app. Hackers have replaced the wallet library with a malicious drainer used to steal funds. This cunning scheme is carried out through the ConnectKit package.

The cryptocurrency wallet development team has announced that a malicious version of Ledger Connect Kit has been detected and successfully removed. At the same time, they assure users that their Ledger and Ledger Live devices remain secure and have not been compromised.
