$86M+ drained from 300+ wallets. Through hardware wallets – the thing that was supposed to keep it safe 🚨 Here’s how not to be next. How to check yours and the most effective trick are at the end 👇 What happened On October 9, wallets in Southeast Asia started getting drained. @Ledger confirmed a hidden hardware implant in at least one victim’s device. All confirmed cases trace back to CryptoBilis, an authorized Ledger reseller in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. They’ve paused sales. How it worked A tiny module under the screen, with its own SIM, read your 24 words during setup and sent them to the attacker. The secure chip was untouched, so Ledger’s Genuine Check still passed. On-chain estimates: $86–93M lost, mostly USDT on Tron. Tether froze about $10M. Bought from a reseller in the last ~90 days? 🟢 Not set up yet? Don’t 🟢 Already using it? Move everything to a new device with a new seed phrase 🟢 Only talk to official Ledger support. DMs asking for your words are scams Basic checks for any cold wallet 🟢 Seed phrase in the box = scam 🟢 First boot must create a new wallet, not restore one 🟢 Wallet app only from the official site 🟢 Your 24 words go on paper and into the device. Nowhere else Check your Nano X yourself 🟢 Gently pry the case open, a plastic tool is safer than a knife 🟢 The display should connect straight to the mainboard, nothing in between 🟢 Behind the display, only the mainboard. Behind the mainboard, only the battery The last image shows a clean board. Opening the case may void your warranty. The most effective trick Buy only from the manufacturer’s site: https://t.co/bS4xMF4eVU, https://t.co/ZZHewMf9H9 and so on. Not Amazon, not eBay, not secondhand. This case proved even an authorized reseller isn’t safe. Not sure where yours came from? Don’t keep real money on it. Repost this – someone in your feed bought theirs last month 💚
