Ledger Wallet Attack Spreads to Europe
A tampered Ledger wallet attack that has already stolen an estimated $93.4 million from Asian hardware wallet users has reportedly spread to Europe. X user Johannes presented photographs of a tampered Ledger device purchased two weeks ago from MediaMarkt, an European consumer electronics chain. The implant inside the device appears to be an earlier version of the one found linked to CryptoBilis, a reseller of Ledger devices in Asia. No funds have been taken from the European device. Ledger has not confirmed the reported European device is part of the same attack, but has asked CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments of its devices as a precaution. Ledger advised customers who purchased devices from CryptoBilis within the past 90 days to consider transferring their assets to a new Ledger. Cybersecurity outlet Yfarmx estimated the losses at $93.4 million across 471 addresses, but this figure has not been confirmed by Ledger.
