An actor claiming a zero-day exploit targeting Ledger Wallet on Windows and macOS is selling it on the dark web for $2,000, allegedly enabling a fake recovery screen to steal seeds.

What we know

An account on X reports that a seller using the pseudonym 'work159' is listing an alleged zero-day exploit targeting Ledger Wallet on both Windows and macOS for just $2,000 on dark web marketplaces. The exploit purportedly displays a fake recovery procedure to harvest seed phrases. This is unverified — treat as a warning to exercise caution with Ledger prompts until Ledger addresses or denies the claim.
