The Ledger Hack That Stole $102 Million From 324 Wallets
A hardware wallet with a spy chip inside, bought from an authorized reseller.
“There's this extra chip in here. We need to figure out what this chip does.”
Turns out it was secretly watching your 24 words appear on screen, then transmitting them to attackers over an electronic SIM.
The software never got touched. The device did.
“As of that Ledger October 13 update, hundreds of reported exploited devices... an estimated $102,000,000 stolen from 324 wallets.”
324 wallets. Not victims. Victims could be in the hundreds. 🎬
