Поддельные кошельки Ledger обошлись пользователям Сингапура в 2,7 миллиона долларов: полиция

In Singapore, a number of Ledger wallet users have fallen victim to theft due to tampered devices, resulting in total losses of $2.7M. The first cases were reported as early as September 10, indicating that the issue was present for nearly a month before it became widely known. Ledger wallets are popular among cryptocurrency users for their security features, making this incident particularly concerning. The fact that the wallets were tampered with suggests a level of sophistication on the part of the perpetrators. The impact of this incident is likely to be felt by the broader cryptocurrency community, as it raises questions about the security of hardware wallets. The incident may also lead to increased scrutiny of Ledger's manufacturing and supply chain processes. As a result, users may become more cautious when using hardware wallets, potentially affecting the adoption of cryptocurrency.
