🐻 A suspected hardware-wallet supply-chain attack has put self-custody security under scrutiny. Ledger confirmed that one affected user's device contained an unauthorized hardware implant and asked Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis to pause sales while the investigation continues. Independent researchers traced suspected theft addresses across $BTC, $ETH and $TRX, estimating losses above USD 86 million, though Ledger has not confirmed the total or linked every transfer to the reseller. Current evidence does not indicate that the three blockchains or Ledger's own systems were breached; the concern is tampering before devices reached buyers. The case highlights how secure protocols can still be undermined at the hardware-distribution layer. #TrendingTopic #HotTrends #ETH #solana #altcoins
