Ledger has since attributed the exploit to a phishing attack on a former employee.
More decentralized applications (DApps) have temporarily disabled their front-end user interface for Ledger Connect amid an exploit on Dec. 14.
Developers of the nonfungible token (NFT) platform OpenSea said on Dec. 14 that users should “not connect to any dApps using Ledger Connect until further notice.”
Meanwhile, the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Lido Finance stated its “front-ends have been switched off as a precautionary measure whilst the Ledger connect issue is being investigated.”
