🚨 Scammer Loses $4.8M in Bitcoin to Ledger Supply Chain Hack
Chainalysis has revealed that a mastermind behind a massive "task scam" became a victim of the recent Ledger hardware wallet breach. The individual lost 60 BTC, worth approximately $4.8 million, which they had originally stolen from victims through fake sales and review schemes.
The scammer moved the illicit Bitcoin into three separate Ledger addresses on September 22. On October 9, a different group of hackers emptied all three wallets in a single transfer. This irony highlights the severity of the security breach affecting Ledger users who purchased devices from specific resellers.
