CZ proposes two-week quarantine for new hardware wallets

  • —Zhao recommends keeping a new wallet empty for at least 14 days while monitoring security alerts
  • —Wallets in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines lost $86.9 million in BTC, ETH and TRON
  • —Attackers swapped seed-phrase cards in packages at CryptoBilis warehouses
  • —Ledger said manufacturing, firmware and Ledger Live were unaffected, limiting the risk to logistics
Why it matters: Supply-chain attacks on hardware wallets are becoming a systemic risk for self-custody of crypto assets.
