How people lost money in crypto this month.View quoted post on X
Every month a lot of money disappears in crypto. Most people outside the space never see the details. This October, the bigger losses still came from ordinary failures of access and trust rather than complicated new technology.
Here is what actually happened, with the numbers and sources.
Someone opened the packages before they arrived
Roughly $86–91 million
Ledger makes small devices that people use to keep their crypto safer. In theory the device itself is hard to break into.
This month people ordered genuine Ledger devices from a seller in Southeast Asia called CryptoBilis. Someone opened the packages after the devices left the factory, added a tiny extra piece of hardware, and resealed them.
When the new owners set the devices up and wrote down their secret recovery words, the extra hardware read the words off the screen and sent them out over the mobile network.
Ledger’s own chip and software were not broken. The devices had simply been touched on the way to the buyer.
Researchers tracking the stolen money put the total around $86–91 million across hundreds of wallets.
Ledger has confirmed the implant and the distribution attack.
