More than 50 victims lost at least $9.5 million in cryptocurrency between April 7 and April 13 after downloading a malicious Ledger Live clone from the Apple App Store. Three of the largest losses included $3.23 million in USDT on April 9, $2.08 million in USDC on April 11, and $1.95 million in BTC, ETH, and stETH on April 8. One victim lost 5.92 BTC, describing the loss as his entire retirement fund.
Users entered recovery phrases into the fake app, giving attackers full access to their wallets. The app was distributed via Apple's official marketplace and was later removed by the company.
Stolen funds were routed through more than 150 KuCoin deposit addresses and linked to the centralized laundering service AudiA6.
