🇺🇸 CIA official David J. Rush admitted stealing nearly $194 million.

FBI agents found 298 gold bars during a search of his home.

Prosecutors say the 49-year-old, who had a security clearance, created a fake classified program.

About $145 million went toward luxury property, watches and cars, while $46 million was used to buy gold.

May searches also uncovered about $2.1 million in cash and €105,000. Rush agreed to forfeit the property, 30 watches, two BMWs and all the gold bars. Sentencing is set for 28 January.

He faces up to 20 years in prison.

🚨 Hardware Implant Discovered Inside a Ledger Wallet

Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès discovered a hidden SIM card inside a tampered Ledger hardware wallet.
"The implant was cleverly hidden where the screen's padding is supposed to be."
ㅤ
Ledger confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in a device reportedly sold through its official reseller, CryptoBilis.

The alleged supply chain attack has been linked to $92.9 million stolen from 311 wallets, although the connection between the implant and these losses remains unverified.
ㅤ
Following the discovery, CryptoBilis reportedly stopped selling all hardware wallets, including Ledger, Trezor, Tangem and SafePal.

The case raises concerns about hardware wallet security and the risks of device tampering before products reach customers.
