Ledger confirms unauthorized hardware was implanted in users’ devices; Tether freezes USDT linked to the case
Ledger confirmed that unauthorized hardware had been implanted in some users’ devices. Tether subsequently froze the $USDT connected to the theft 🚨.
We stand on the side of user security and oppose blindly trusting any single brand. Manufacturers may claim that their hardware is secure offline and that vulnerabilities have been fixed, but physical access means private keys may already have been extracted. Software fixes cannot undo a physical intrusion that has already occurred. Blindly believing in the absolute security of a single brand is tantamount to leaving your assets completely exposed.
Here’s what to keep a close eye on next: first, official disclosures of the number of affected users and the amount involved; second, whether there are signs of third-party tampering in the supply chain; and third, the hardware firmware signature verification mechanism. Don’t wait until your assets have been drained to realize your defenses failed long ago 🗄️.
