Because at that time the users are already confused about its setup so they do not pay attention to the links they are opening for installing the Ledger live application. Keep in mind that the link is Ledger.com/start and nothing else.

 

  • You might receive some kind of pretended email that will say it is officially from Ledger Wallet. In situations like this, you have to be very beware of the domain name being fake. So think thoroughly before entering your Ledger Live login details anywhere.
