Critical Security Warning

Ledger will NEVER ask for your recovery phrase, PIN, or private keys via email, phone, social media, or any other communication method.

Always verify you are using the official Ledger Live application downloaded directly from Ledger's official website. Be extremely cautious of phishing attempts and fake applications.

If someone claims to be from Ledger support and asks for sensitive information, it is a scam. Report suspicious activity to security@ledger.com immediately.
