American musician G. Love loses 5.92 BTC due to malicious Ledger app, funds have been sent to exchange

BlockBeats News, April 12th, American musician G.Love stated that during the process of changing his computer and reconfiguring his Ledger hardware wallet, he mistakenly downloaded a malicious fake app from the Apple App Store, resulting in approximately 5.92 bitcoins being transferred out in a short period of time.

On-chain detective ZachXBT subsequently reported that the stolen funds' flow had been traced, and the related assets had been transferred through a path involving a CEX deposit address. ZachXBT also questioned Apple's App Store review mechanism, stating that the platform's allowance of fake apps to be listed exacerbates the security risks to user assets.
