More than $86M stolen from Ledger users..
On-chain analyst Specter warned that hundreds of accounts linked to Ledger were drained on $BTC Bitcoin, $ETH Ethereum, and $TRX Tron. Although the on-chain losses have been confirmed, Ledger has not reported any hardware failures or identified the exact attack vector.
The chip protects your keys from the internet, but it cannot prevent signing scams. On Bitcoin, funds are lost only if you hand over your 24 words or manually authorize a transfer; on Ethereum and Tron, a malicious contract can drain your tokens with a simple approval, without ever touching your seed phrase.
For your security: never enter your 24 words on a screen. Never type them on a computer, phone, or tablet, or save them in photos or digital notes. Entering them with a conventional keyboard can expose them to spyware, malware, or cloud backups, leaving your wallet completely vulnerable.
Official apps will never ask you to type them on a computer, either to update the system or for technical support. If a window on your screen asks for those words, it is 100% a scam.
The only place you should enter them is on paper or metal for backup, or directly using the physical buttons on the device itself—never through a PC keyboard. Verify every detail on the device’s physical screen before approving, and revoke old DeFi permissions.
Do you think this was a massive phishing campaign or a software bug?
