Scammer loses stolen 60 BTC stored on tampered Ledger devices

  • —Scammer lost 60 BTC (~$4.8M) held on tampered Ledger devices
  • —Supply chain attack losses exceed $103.4M across 530+ addresses
  • —Ledger paused distributor sales in Asia and Europe
  • —No compensation policy announced for affected users
Why it matters: A supply chain attack on hardware wallets undermines trust in self-custody and reinforces buying devices only directly from the manufacturer.
