  • —Tether froze $10 million in USDT tied to the theft
  • —Loss estimates range from $93.2 million (315 wallets) to $94.5 million (521 addresses)
  • —Stolen assets were mostly USDT and TRON tokens; some funds moved through Tornado Cash and Zcash
  • —Ledger confirmed a hardware implant in at least one device sold by CryptoBilis
Why it matters: The incident undermines trust in hardware wallets, as tampered devices were sold through an authorized channel and Ledger has yet to announce compensation.
