Another hardware wallet supply-chain incident: Devices sold by a reseller were found to have unauthorized firmware preinstalled, affecting BTC, ETH, and TRON wallets and causing losses of over $86 million. Holding your own private keys doesn’t guarantee you’re safe. Check where the device came from, then verify its firmware—this is the first line of defense in managing your positions.

Current prices: BTC 83102, ETH 2505, LINK 13.03. The market has barely reacted, with all 24-hour price moves under 1.1%. Selling pressure from incidents like this is generally concentrated in the 24 hours after the news breaks. Keep large holdings split between hot and cold storage, don’t keep more than 30% of your total position on a single device, and write down your recovery phrase offline. Never enter it on an internet-connected device.
