Once again reminding the hardware wallet retards that the risk that becomes real when you leak people’s SHIPPING INFORMATION is not phishing. It’s fucking PHYSICAL ASSAULTS AND KIDNAPPINGS.
We owe you an apology. On October 20, we detected unauthorized access to our official website. After verifying API activity with Shopify, we confirmed on October 23 that a third party obtained customer shipping information. You trusted us with those details, and we're sorry we didn't keep them safe. Exposed: names, contact details, shipping addresses, and order details (items and prices). Not exposed: payment card or bank details, recovery phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords. We've blocked access, fixed the vulnerability, opened an investigation, and are emailing affected customers. Scammers may pose as Keystone by phone, text, email, or mail, offering refunds, replacement devices, or "fixes" for your order or address. None of it is from us. NEVER share your recovery phrase or private keys, and NEVER enter your recovery phrase into a device you didn't order. We will never ask for them. Don't click links in unexpected messages. Type keyst.one yourself. A detailed report is coming soon. Until then, trust only our official channels. If anything feels off, email support@keyst.one. We'd rather hear from you than have you take a chance. Again, we're truly sorry to everyone affected.

It was great evaluating @ambire! IMO, it’s a wallet to watch in the coming months / years. Really happy to see their growth It’s also clear the team is trying to make progress There are also easy to achieve improvements in our breakdown that could make a big difference :)
How does Ambire stack up against Walletbeat's attributes? What's good, what could be better, and where are the gaps? A Walletbeat thread 🧵

Software supply chain directly impacts wallets' security, and therefore user funds' security. A compromised dependency in a wallet means a compromised wallet, which means compromised users. @polymutex joins @EFDevcon to explore how should wallets protect against software supply chain attacks Catch this lightning talk on the Open and Verifiable Stack 👇

Choosing a wallet also means choosing how your privacy and security are handled. @polymutex leads @walletbeat, a project that helps people examine Ethereum wallets and the choices behind them. That work makes it easier to ask informed questions about the tools we use, rather than relying on their promises. We’re welcoming polymutex to Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3. Mumbai · 2 November · Free entry congress.web3privacy.info/

The only things worth building are the ones that keep working after everyone walks away. @darryl__yeo is joining @EFDevcon to explore "Websites that outlast us: dependency minimalism and the walkaway test applied to the frontend stack."

privacy saves lives
‼️ France's Interior Ministry logged 90 crypto-linked kidnapping, extortion and violent theft cases from 1 January to mid-August. It counted 223 arrests and 126 people jailed. Chainalysis says 40%+ of French attacks targeted a relative or acquaintance of the crypto holder.

UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users. I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet). The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries). My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold. Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk. I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it. If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!
