Ledger wallets undergoing massive hardware supply chain attack
Transcript
People are losing millions of dollars because they bought a hardware wallet that had two millimeters of a chip soldered into it. Like legit better wallets. Highly reputable, highly recommended hardware wallets in the crypto space. But they were purchased from a reseller, but the reseller was also reputable. This reseller was crypto bills. They were legit. People recommended them. It was all good until crypto bills decided to sell. And they didn't tell any of their suppliers or anyone downstream that they sold because they signed a confidentiality agreement. This is the former owner of CryptoBills. And who did they sell to? A Chinese company. And now it's coming out that this company just bought this supplier for the sole reason of creating this supply chain attack on crypto wallets. So for at least over the last ninety days, if you bought a Better wallet from a reseller named Crypto Bills, it had some hardware implants on it. So if you don't know why hardware wallets are popular or important in this space, if you tamper with the actual hardware, it would be detectable. But that's not what they did. They just soldered in between the actual hardware and this display screen, the LED display screen. So anything that this wallet decided to display on this screen, it could intercept and read. And when you're setting up a wallet, it displays the seed passphrase on the screen. And then the other thing that they soldered on was this little two millimeter SIM card so that they could connect to a cell network and transfer that seed phrase that they just stole off your screen. We're in early days of figuring out what's going on here, but it, it's tied to estimated about $86,000,000 in losses so far over the last couple months.
