Update from Ledger Donjon on the CryptoBilis investigation 🔽 @DonjonLedger is investigating Ledger signers sold by CryptoBilis, a reseller in Southeast Asia, that contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger confirmed this on October 10th for one affected user's signer. All confirmed fund losses tied to the incident disclosed on October 9th involve signers sold through CryptoBilis. We have not verified a drain linked to a signer bought elsewhere. CryptoBilis has confirmed it stopped selling Ledger signers while the investigation continues. Based on the Donjon's analysis of the attack, the implant sits inside the enclosure and reads the data shown on the screen. During setup, the signer displays the 24-word recovery phrase. When the implant detects these screens, its microcontroller decodes the words and transmits them over LTE using a provisioned eSIM. The implant is a separate component. It does not modify the Secure Element or the Ledger operating system, and it does not alter transactions or signatures. The Donjon will analyze the signers it receives and will share more as the investigation continues. We have not confirmed the total number of affected users or the total value lost. Figures circulating online come from third parties and Ledger has not fully verified them. If your funds were drained and you have not contacted us, please do so through Ledger Support so we can include your case. We are also reviewing reports of implants in other signers and locations. We will continue to share information as the investigation progresses. Rest assured the Ledger team is going above and beyond to leave no stone unturned to investigate this situation to the strongest possible outcome. If you bought a Ledger signer from CryptoBilis and have not set it up, do not set it up and contact Ledger Support. If you have set it up, transfer your assets promptly to a new signer with a new recovery phrase. Do not enter or restore any recovery phrase on a signer bought from CryptoBilis. Never enter your recovery phrase into a website, app or form. If you lost funds or hold a tampered signer, contact Ledger Support at support.ledger.com and file a report with local law enforcement. Do not send the signer to anyone before speaking with Ledger Support or local law enforcement. If you lost funds, coordinate with law enforcement before opening the signer. Researchers and others with relevant information can write to [email protected]. If you did not buy from CryptoBilis and want to inspect the inside of your signer, the guide is at support.ledger.com/article/4…. Use caution and make sure your recovery phrase is backed up first, because opening a signer can damage it. Ledger will never call you, message you directly, or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. We will update this post when we verify new information.

👏👏👏 Kudos to the TOP 3 teams of 2023 MetaTrust Web3 Security CTF Competition! You have impressed us with your works. Hope we can keep exploring and BUIDL together in the Web3 security industry. #MetaTrust #CTF #Web3 #Security

#MetaTrustAlert @steadefi on #Arbitrum and #Avalanche was exploited with a total loss of $1,140,000. The owner of all the vaults has been compromised and is transferred to an attacker's wallet (0x9cf71). The attacker invoked privileged functions to gain all borrowable assets on both Arbitrum and Avalanche, then swapped them into ETH and bridged ETH to Ethereum. The wallet on Ethereum now holds 624 $ETH($1.14m value).
