   "summary": "SlowMist reported that attackers re-registered expired domains belonging to established Linux Snap Store publishers, reset the publisher accounts, and pushed updates that turned trusted apps into fake Exodus, Ledger Live and Trust Wallet clients. The fake apps ask for the wallet recovery phrase and send it to the attackers. Linux users who installed wallet apps from the Snap Store should check the publisher and never type a recovery phrase into a desktop app. No loss total was published."
