A Fake Ledger App on the Mac Store? Why was that Possible??
Context: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/s/RMk9T9mNHa
Read this alarming thread about how a fake version of ledger made it to the apple official mac store. The user was prompted to enter their seed in order to connect their ledger device to the app. I read this and got very worried because I feel like I would have fallen for something like that. From the OP, it sounds like his official version of the app was updated to the malicious one. I didnt even know that was possible! How can they hack an official update?
This is very alarming because how is it possible that downloading the official ledger app from the official mac store can even put you at risk? How did Ledger/Apple allow something like this to happen?
