Security: the good news & what to watch for

Ledger Live itself is built to keep private keys on your Ledger hardware device and never transmit your recovery seed. That model reduces exposure compared to custodial wallets. However, the crypto space attracts scams — always use the official App Store listing or ledger.com to download Ledger Live. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Important safety alert:

Security researchers and news outlets have reported fake Ledger apps and malware campaigns targeting users (including macOS-based fake apps) that attempt to trick victims into revealing their seed phrases. Never enter your recovery phrase into any app, website, or message — Ledger and legitimate apps will never ask for it. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Quick security checklist:

Download Ledger Live only from the Apple App Store or ledger.com. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase — Ledger will never ask for it. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Keep device firmware and the Ledger Live app updated.
Use a hardware wallet for large holdings and keep small daily funds in separate wallets if needed.
