Hello everyone, how are you? There's been news circulating about a hack of Ledger hardware wallets, and it's true. The company itself has confirmed the existence of an unauthorized spying hardware component in some of the affected devices, resulting in over $86 million in stolen assets.
✔️Exactly what happened? A seller named CryptoBilis, operating in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, was selling Ledger devices. Reports have emerged of customers' wallets being emptied. Upon investigation of one of the devices, an unauthorized spying electronic circuit was discovered. This component could have captured sensitive information displayed on the screen, including the recovery phrase, and sent it to hackers. Ledger has asked the seller to stop selling the devices temporarily while they investigate how the devices became infected with this component.
