#Ledger Investigates Potential $87M Exploit Tied to Supply Chain Vulnerability ⚠️💻💥
Major hardware wallet provider Ledger has officially launched an urgent investigation following reports of a massive cyberattack resulting in the drainage of over $87 million in user assets 📉🚫.
On-chain #security analysts, including crypto sleuth Specter, revealed the breach has drained roughly $42M in #ETH 💎, $17.6M in #BTC 🪙, and $16.5M in #USDT 💵.
Ledger confirmed that the exploit is strictly isolated to hardware units distributed through a specific Southeast Asian third-party reseller, CryptoBilis 🇸🇪🌏.
🚨 EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED FOR AFFECTED USERS:
If you purchased a Ledger device from CryptoBilis within the last 90 days:
1️⃣ DO NOT SET UP OR USE THE DEVICE if it is still unboxed 🛑📦.
2️⃣ If already active, IMMEDIATELY migrate all digital assets to a secure temporary wallet, then factory-reset your Ledger to generate a completely new, clean 24-word seed phrase 💼🔐🔄.
Devices ordered directly from Ledger's official website remain fully secure and unaffected by this distribution breach 🛡️✅.
