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?
You seem to generalize events often in your threads, not good enough.
Secondly, you cannot say browser add ons are not safe, instead you say only verified desktop addons are safe. Extension add ons on browsers is just like google play store, where anyone can set up their add ons for all.
Meta Mask, Google Authenticators and even Origin OGN add on extension are example of verified add ons on browsers.
My advice for everyone is to do their research, and trace the source of any add ons you use on your computer.
Stay safe.
