A new threat alarm in the crypto world. Moonlock, a cyber security firm, warns users against a new type of attack on the dark network: fake Ledger Live applications that are transmitted to the MacOS operating system can completely evacuate its digital wallets by playing users Seed Phrase information.

💻 Instead of real application, fake version

According to the report dated May 22, attackers replace the original Ledger Live application on users’ devices with a fake version. This clone application demands the user to enter the 24 -word recovery statement by showing a convincing warning to the user.

“Clone application was designed to collect data, such as passwords, notes and wallet information, but it was not possible to directly access funds, Moon says Moonlock team. “Now, the attackers have learned to evacuate the wallets by stealing the words of rescue.”

🕵️ 2,800 website is in danger

The attackers use the malicious software called Atomic MacOS Stealer to install this clone application. According to Moonlock’s statement, this malware, passwords, personal information and wallet details, as well as removing the real Ledger Live application by removing the fake version instead. The research revealed that Atomic Stealer was accommodated on a seized website at least 2,800.

🔐 Have you entered Seed Phrase? Your assets are gone

According to Moonlock’s analysis, when the user believes in the warning of the fake application and the recovery statement, this information is sent to a server under the control of the attacker. This process takes place in just a few seconds and all assets of the user are in danger.

🧠 Anti-Ledger ”software on Dark Web is on sale

Some threat actors operating in the dark wax marketing “anti-Ledger” pests specially designed for Ledger users. Some examples examined by Moonlock claim that it offers these features, but it does not yet contain the promised functions. This shows that the attack capacity is still developing.

“This is not just a theft. A high -risk strategy to overcome one of the most reliable tools in the crypto world, Moon Moonlock warns. “Talks about anti-ladger software on Dark Web forums are multiplying. New wave is on the road.”
