🚨 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.

💸 Global Rate Hike Cycle

15 of 33 major central banks (45%) raised interest rates over the past six months, the largest share since 2023. The figure is nearing ~55%, recorded in 2018 and 2011.

By comparison, the share peaked at ~95% in 2022 after post-pandemic stimulus and a resulting surge in global inflation.

54 central banks have hiked rates so far this year. For the first time since September 2023, more central banks have hiked than cut rates over a rolling three-month period.

“Higher for longer” is back.
