Hidden Chip Found Inside a Ledger Wallet - Is Cold Storage Still Safe?

A reported case involving a modified Ledger device has raised concerns about hardware wallet security. An additional chip was allegedly hidden beneath the screen, with the compromised device linked to losses exceeding $86M
The concerning detail is that some modified devices may still pass standard authenticity checks if their original secure element remains intact

The Real Vulnerability

Hardware wallets are designed to keep private keys isolated from internet-connected devices. However, that protection becomes less reliable when the physical device itself has been compromised
A malicious component could potentially manipulate displayed information or interfere with the wallet initialization process
This highlights an important distinction: cryptographic authenticity does not necessarily guarantee that every physical component is trustworthy

Research View

The incident reinforces the importance of supply-chain security
Buying directly from official sources, generating recovery phrases independently, rejecting preconfigured wallets and verifying transaction details are essential precautions
For suspected compromised devices, simply resetting the wallet may not eliminate the underlying risk
Cold storage protects private keys. But that protection still depends on trusting the hardware holding them

$BTC slipped below $70,000 for the first time in two months, dragging $800M in long positions to liquidation. Adding to the pressure, defunct exchange Mt. Gox moved 10,422 $BTC worth $739M to a new wallet - its biggest transfer in months - as the October 2026 creditor deadline nears. With ETF outflows hitting a record streak, the question is simple: how low can this go, and is the February $60K low back in play?
The bear camp is leaning in. KING BABJOE warns the Mt. Gox ghost is back, with on-chain moves of this scale triggering panic selling from traders front-running supply that may never actually hit. Echoing that, Crypto boss says the transfer isn't a confirmed sell-off but adds uncertainty at a fragile moment. For ASHER, the real test sits at the $65K-$66K support zone a
break there could open the door straight to $60K. The counter is loud. MANIAC calls this textbook FUD, recalling that Mt. Gox headlines have historically preceded rallies, and frames a $60K wick as a generational buying opportunity absorbed by ETF demand. The Crypto Brief agrees wallet transfers don't equal selling, noting past Mt. Gox movements often led to custody changes rather than dumps. So which is it - is $60K a realistic floor, or is the market
overreacting to old fears
$BTC

Al (Claude) found a critical 4-year bug in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool (since 2022). Could've let attackers mint unlimited fake ZEC undetected.

No exploitation found, team patched it quick with emergency fork. But ZEC still crashed 30-50%, wiping $5B+ market cap. Privacy coins stay risky af. Trust hit hard.

The bug has been fixed, but it's still unclear whether any fake ZEC was created before the fix.

Future for $ZEC ? Could bounce if they nail better audits + upgrades, or keep bleeding if more FUD hits.

Long term privacy play might recover, but volatile as hell rn.

GMX Hacker Returns Stolen $40 Million, Accepts $5M Bounty

A hacker who exploited GMX's smart contracts to steal $42 million in cryptocurrencies has returned $40.5 million after accepting a $5 million bounty offered by GMX. The attack, a re-entrancy exploit, targeted GMX V1's design flaw, inflating GLP token prices and stealing assets like $ETH and $FRAX. GMX confirmed its V2 protocol was unaffected and lifted minting caps on liquidity tokens. GMX's token has recovered, rising over 13% following the incident resolution.
