Ledger cryptocurrency wallet at risk of hack - be vigilant

Dec 14, 2023

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.
