Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

The primary attack vector is seed phrase harvesting: victims are prompted to enter their 12- or 24-word BIP39 recovery phrases, which attackers immediately transmit to attacker-controlled servers and use to drain all wallets derived from that phrase. Affected blockchains across documented incidents include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and Ripple (XRP).

The app was active from approximately October 19, 2023, through November 5, 2023. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT publicly flagged the malicious listing on November 5, 2023, prompting Microsoft to remove it the same day. The fraudulent app collected approximately 16.8 BTC (~$588,000) via 38 transactions to the primary Bitcoin address bc1qg05gw43elzqxqnll8vs8x47ukkhudwyncxy64q, and an additional ~$180,000 across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain to the secondary address 0x089ecf0703b8e85183f29725f87da40ae488b7b9, for a documented total of approximately $768,000. The app's description was copied verbatim from the legitimate Apple App Store listing. Its only notable review artifact was a single five-star rating and a fraudulent GitBook documentation page hosted at ladgerlivlugio.gitbook.io. One documented victim lost $26,500 in life savings. This was not reported to be the first such listing on Microsoft's platform; Ledger's official support account had previously issued warnings in December 2022 and March 2023 about earlier counterfeit Microsoft Store apps.","heading":"Microsoft Store Incident (November 2023)","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Fake Ledger Live app in Microsoft Store steals $768,000 in crypto - BleepingComputer","type":"news","url":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fake-ledger-live-app-in-microsoft-store-steals-768-000-in-crypto/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Rogue Developer Steals $768,000 in Crypto with Fake Ledger Live App - Bitdefender","type":"news","url":"https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/rogue-developer-steals-768-000-in-crypto-with-fake-ledger-live-app"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Ledger's fake hardware wallet app and fraud in Microsoft's App Store - Abstract Crypto","type":"news","url":"https://abstractcrypto.com/ledgers-fake-hardware-wallet-app-and-fraud-in-microsofts-app-store/"}]},{"content":"Between April 7 and April 13, 2026, a fraudulent Ledger Live application published to the Apple App Store under the developer account 'SAS Software Company' and publisher name 'Leva Heal Limited' caused losses of approximately $9.5 million across more than 50 victims. The app appeared in the macOS App Store under a name visually indistinguishable from the legitimate Ledger Live software. The malicious actor employed a 'bait-and-switch strategy,' according to Apple's stated explanation for the removal: the app was initially submitted with benign functionality and subsequently updated to harvest seed phrases once it passed review. The developer artificially inflated apparent legitimacy by releasing fake major version updates (versions 1.0 through 5.0) within two weeks. ZachXBT's on-chain investigation, published on April 14, 2026, identified the three largest individual victim losses: $3.23 million in USDT (April 9), $2.079 million in USDC (April 11), and $1.95 million in a combination of BTC, ETH, and stETH (April 8). Musician Garrett Dutton, known professionally as G. Love, lost 5.92 BTC (approximately $424,000–$447,000) described as his retirement fund. ZachXBT traced stolen funds through more than 150 KuCoin deposit addresses connected to a centralized mixing service called 'AudiA6.' KuCoin froze associated accounts, though recovery remained subject to law enforcement involvement. Apple stated it removed the app and terminated the developer account following community reports; the app had been live for approximately two weeks before removal. PhishFort analyst Shahar Madar independently identified and escalated the case directly to Apple's anti-fraud team. ZachXBT stated the incident may provide grounds for a class action lawsuit against Apple.","heading":"Apple App Store Incident (April 2026) — Leva Heal Limited / SAS Software Company","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Fake Ledger Live app on Apple's App Store stole $9.5M in crypto - BleepingComputer","type":"news","url":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fake-ledger-live-app-on-apples-app-store-stole-95m-in-crypto/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Fake Ledger app on Apple App Store linked to $9.5M crypto theft - The Block","type":"news","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/397388/fake-ledger-app-apple-app-store-crypto-theft-bitcoin-tron-solana-zachxbt"},{"credibility":1,"name":"A fake Ledger app on the Apple App Store drained $9.5M in crypto - CoinDesk","type":"news","url":"https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/04/14/a-fake-ledger-app-on-the-apple-app-store-just-drained-usd9-5-million-in-crypto"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Apple Removes Fake Ledger App That Stole $9.5M From Users - CoinTelegraph","type":"news","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/apple-removes-fake-ledger-app-stole-9-million-from-users"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Says Apple App Store Fake Ledger App Stole $9.5M From 50+ Victims - Bitcoin.com News","type":"news","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-says-apple-app-store-fake-ledger-app-stole-9-5m-from-50-victims-in-one-week/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Fake Ledger App Steals Millions in Bitcoin From Holders Including Musician G.

After installation, the app replicates the visual design and user experience of the legitimate Ledger Live interface. At a critical point in the user flow — typically a 'wallet setup,' 'account recovery,' or 'critical error' screen — the app displays a prompt requesting the user's 12- or 24-word BIP39 seed phrase. The prompt is framed as a routine security verification or wallet restoration step. Legitimate hardware wallet workflows do not require seed phrase entry into software; this request is the definitive indicator of fraud. Once entered, the seed phrase is transmitted over the network to an attacker-controlled server. Attackers then derive all child keys and drain associated wallets across every supported blockchain. The 'bait-and-switch' technique specifically refers to submitting an initially innocuous application for app store review, then updating the app post-approval to introduce the malicious phishing interface, exploiting the reduced scrutiny applied to app updates. On macOS, trojanized DMG installer variants replace a genuine installed Ledger Live binary with the malicious clone, activating a fake error screen on next launch.","heading":"Attack Technique: Seed Phrase Harvesting and Bait-and-Switch","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Anti-Ledger malware: The battle for Ledger Live seed phrases - Moonlock","type":"news","url":"https://moonlock.com/anti-ledger-malware"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Hackers use fake Ledger apps to steal Mac users' seed phrases - BleepingComputer","type":"news","url":"https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-use-fake-ledger-apps-to-steal-mac-users-seed-phrases/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Ledger Scam April 2026 — Flagged and Taken Down by PhishFort Analyst","type":"official","url":"https://phishfort.com/fake-crypto-apps-app-store-phishing-scam/"}]},{"content":"Multiple security researchers have documented the use of homoglyph substitution in fake Ledger Live distribution.

The encoded form of the fraudulent URL appeared as /ledger-liv%D0%B5/ versus the legitimate /ledger-live/.

The campaign impersonated seven major wallets including Ledger, MetaMask, Coinbase, Trust Wallet, TokenPocket, imToken, and Bitpie. Kaspersky attributed the campaign with moderate confidence to the threat actors behind the SparkKitty Trojan, based on shared command-and-control infrastructure, Chinese-language debug logging, and overlapping targeting methodologies. SparkKitty is a mobile trojan targeting iOS and Android devices that harvests cryptocurrency recovery phrases from users' photo galleries and input events. For cold wallet apps such as Ledger Live, the campaign injected malicious React Native code that displayed phishing notifications matching the authentic app's UI, including mnemonic autocomplete functionality to reduce friction and appear legitimate. For hot wallet apps, the malware hijacked screen rendering methods to intercept seed phrase entry. RSA encryption was used to transmit harvested data to command-and-control servers. Almost all detected FakeWallet apps targeted Chinese iOS users by App Store region, though the malicious code carried no regional restriction. Apple removed 25 of 26 identified apps following Kaspersky's responsible disclosure; the 26th was subsequently removed with the developer's account terminated.","heading":"FakeWallet / SparkKitty Campaign (Kaspersky Research)","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"FakeWallet cryptostealer propagating via iOS App Store applications - Kaspersky Securelist","type":"news","url":"https://securelist.com/fakewallet-cryptostealer-ios-app-store/119474/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Kaspersky finds 26 fake crypto wallet apps on Apple's App Store - Kaspersky Press Release","type":"official","url":"https://www.kaspersky.com/about/press-releases/kaspersky-finds-26-fake-crypto-wallet-apps-on-apples-app-store-that-can-drain-digital-assets"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Phishing crypto-wallet clones in the App Store and other attacks on iOS and macOS crypto owners - Kaspersky Blog","type":"news","url":"https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/ios-macos-fake-crypto-apps/55665/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Fake Crypto, Casino, and TikTok Clone Apps Spread SparkKitty Malware - CoinLive","type":"news","url":"https://www.coinlive.com/news/fake-crypto-casino-and-tiktok-clone-apps-on-google-play"}]},{"content":"Moonlock Lab began tracking a separate set of macOS-targeted fake Ledger Live campaigns starting in August 2024. These campaigns distribute trojanized DMG (disk image) installer files through compromised third-party websites rather than official app stores. By May 2025, Moonlock had identified four concurrent active campaigns. The Odyssey stealer, introduced by a threat actor using the handle 'Rodrigo' on or around March 19, 2025, represented a qualitative escalation: rather than merely stealing stored passwords and wallet configuration files, Odyssey replaced the user's installed Ledger Live binary with a malicious clone that phishes for seed phrases on next launch. The Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS) subsequently adopted Rodrigo's technique. A threat actor using the handle '@mentalpositive' advertised a variant with explicit 'anti-Ledger' functionality on dark web forums in April–May 2025, with a sample first appearing April 17, 2025 and an updated variant on May 4, 2025. AMOS delivery infrastructure was found embedded in at least 2,800 compromised websites.
