I heard a ledger chrome extension have stolen up to 2.5million in crypto, Users are asked to input their 24-word seed, which allows scammers access to the wallet’s contents. This is why I hate add-ons for chrome or Firefox, they aren't safe at all but how come people are falling for this cheap trick that have been around since years ago now?
⚠️NEVER share your 24 words
⚠️NEVER enter your 24 words into any internet-connected device
⚠️Ledger will NEVER ask for your 24 words
When will people learn?
It is totally true that no one is ever safe online. Scammers and/or hackers do really upgrade their way on how they can access your wallet through online usage. It is really in need that we must learn not to fall for such schemes being created by hackers to have an access into our online wallets. We must always be careful on the add-ons we see that pops up in our monitor not to just click it without knowing what is that all about. It is best not to click those pop-ups to avoid such unexpected situations. Also, we must not share private informations such as seed/private key/password online because intruders are always right there waiting for their victims to get into their bait so better always be careful on that. Being aware and knowledgeable is really a key in this industry for us not to be fooled by such schemes and to avoid being hacked or scammed by those kind of people. If you feel unsecure on using online wallets, it will be good to try using hardware wallets. But if you insist to use online wallets, just be mindful not to share private information over online conversations and transaction to avoid scammers and hackers. Always think before you click.
