Greetings everyone,

Given the Increase In Interest of cryptocurrency on this board as of late, I thought this report Is worthy of contributing.

On March 20, Saleem Rashid, a 15-year-old self-taught programmer, published a blog post detailing multiple ways a hacker could crack the Ledger Nano S, a popular crypto hardware wallet. Apparently, the device isn’t as “tamper-proof” as its makers claimed. In his post, Rashid explained how a hacker could use a vulnerability in the Ledger Nano S to steal any private keys stored on the device. They could do this by tampering with the device either before you bought it (a “supply chain attack”) or after you’d already loaded it up with your private information (an “evil maid attack”).

Be sure to read about the vulnerability Itself here. It's quite Impressive.

That's quite interesting, especially since a lot of people think they are safe because they have a hardware wallet. This proofs otherwise. Good thing I know, so I can let my friends with hardware wallets know.

This just demonstrates what appears to be one of the most secure Implementations, Is susceptible to exploitation.

Always question your security.

Always question your security.

Exactly this, your security can never be good enough. There is ALWAYS room for improvement.
