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?
This can't be overemphasized and overlooked, most browsers add-ons are used as a means to steal from people and there is no two ways about it. First it comes in a free and easy way to install, have attractive features and once the users is glued to such features, he/she is then at the mercy of the scammers because what comes next is inputting the private keys. For security reasons always use wallets you are sure of, wallets that others are using and have good ratings for. It doesn't pay to use different new wallets but it pays to glue to the ones which you are sure of for the sake of your assets.
