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

BlockBeats News, April 12, American Philadelphia musician G.Love stated that during the process of changing computers and reconfiguring the Ledger cryptocurrency wallet, he mistakenly downloaded a malicious fake app from the Apple App Store, leading to the transfer of approximately 5.92 bitcoins in a short period of time.

On-chain detective ZachXBT subsequently stated that the stolen funds’ flow had been tracked, and the related assets had been transferred through a path involving a CEX deposit address. ZachXBT also questioned the Apple App Store’s review mechanism, stating that the platform allows fake apps to be listed, further amplifying the risk to user asset security.
