BREAKING: $90M+ drained from Ledger users in Southeast Asia supply chain attack
Here's what went down:
• Victims bought Ledger devices from reseller "CryptoBilis" - devices were likely tampered with before shipping
• Hundreds of wallets compromised across $ETH, $TRX, and $BTC
• Tether already froze $USDT at attacker addresses
• Ex-Mt. Gox CEO warned days ago about tampered Ledgers containing SIM card surveillance implants
This isn't a software exploit. This is physical hardware tampering at the supply chain level.
Ledger told CryptoBilis to halt all sales. CZ calling for industry-wide tracing effort.
If you bought a Ledger from a third-party reseller recently, especially in SEA - DO NOT use it. Check your device for tampering. Contact Ledger support immediately.
Supply chain attacks are the nightmare scenario for hardware wallets. Always buy direct from manufacturer. No shortcuts on security.
