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?
Surely I would not do this either, Hmmm I don't think anyone with enough knowledge here in the cryptocurrency surely is not going to put a 24-word seed in a chrome add on for sure and also we know the risk if we are going to do this.

I don't believed anyone would fall for this kind of scam unlike this scammer was really sneaky getting information in a users or in their computer, I guess it was just a lesson for everybody to not trust everybody in the internet.
