đš BREAKING NEWS: Ledger attack spreads to EU, AI finds â18 trillion XRPâ bug: Hodlerâs Digest
An user reports buying a tampered Ledger from a big retailer in Europe. Security researchers use AI to uncover a â$94 billionâ XRP bug â but receive just a $250K bounty.
A tampered Ledger attack that has already seen an estimated $93.4 million taken from Asian hardware wallet users, has reportedly spread to Europe.X user Johannes has presented photographs of a tampered Ledger he said he purchased two weeks ago from the European consumer electronics chain MediaMarkt. The implant inside appears to be an earlier version of the one found linked to CryptoBilis shipped devices in Asia, and no funds have been taken.
âEither the device didnât work, or they were waiting for a more widespread usage of the compromised devices,â he said. Former Mt Gox CEO Mark Karpeles, whose investigations into the tampered Asian Ledgers helped bring the problem to light, said the antenna in the device says it is the âEurasian versionâ suggesting separate versions of the implant have been sent to regions that use different mobile frequencies. Ledger has not confirmed the reported European device is part of the same attack.
The sophisticated attackhit Ledger devices in Asia late last week, after devices from the official reseller CryptoBilis â which had recently been sold to a new owner â were found to be modified in a way that apparently enable attackers to read the seed phrase and steal funds even as though the device is still able to pass authenticity checks.
