[AI-DRAFTED · AWAITING VERIFICATION]

Summary

Ledger Live is the official companion application published by Ledger SAS for managing Ledger hardware wallets. The genuine application itself has no documented vulnerabilities that have led to direct fund loss, but the "Ledger Live" name and branding have been repeatedly and successfully counterfeited on major app marketplaces (Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play, Chrome Web Store), resulting in tens of millions of dollars in alleged theft from users who mistook fake listings for the real app. Separately, a genuine Ledger-published software component in the same ecosystem (the Ledger Connect Kit library) was compromised in a December 2023 supply-chain attack that briefly redirected funds from users of dApps integrating with Ledger hardware wallets.
