Analyst: Ledger users lose over $86 million in suspected wallet drain

  • —Hundreds of Ledger wallets drained across Ethereum, TRON and Bitcoin
  • —Total losses exceed $86 million
  • —Three BTC addresses received over 211 BTC on October 8–9
  • —Cause of the breach is unknown; Ledger has not responded
