Dear Americans, remember this on November 3.

BREAKING: Mark Karpelès found a hidden SIM card inside a tampered Ledger hardware wallet.
"The implant was cleverly hidden where the screen's padding is supposed to be."
The device is allegedly linked to reseller 'CryptoBilis'.

so about the $86m ledger drain. everyone’s screaming “ledger got hacked” again. i spent the evening digging and it’s dumber and scarier than that
there’s a shop in malaysia called cryptobilis that sells hardware wallets. ledger has it listed as an official authorized reseller since at least 2022, for malaysia, indonesia and the philippines. legit shop, real devices, years of normal customers
this spring the founders sell it. the deal comes with an NDA: they can’t tell anyone about the sale until october 19
by august the company registry shows one owner with 100%. some guy from heilongjiang, china
the shop keeps running like nothing happened. the site, the name and the “authorized by ledger” badge all stay up
then on oct 8 @MagicalTux posts photos of a ledger he cracked open. hidden under the screen there’s an extra little board with an LTE modem and an eSIM. it just watches the display. you set up your wallet, your 24 words show up, and they get sent out over mobile data. ledger’s genuine check doesn’t catch it because the actual ledger chip is real. his device came from malaysia

that post does 120k views
22 hours later someone sweeps everything. 203 BTC hits two addresses in literally one block. ~$58m USDT moves on tron in the same hour. i added up all the wallets: ~$91m
about 7 hours after that ledger says “we’re investigating” and asks cryptobilis to pause sales
cryptobilis is still on ledger’s site as an authorized reseller
to be fair, nobody has officially tied the new owner to the bugged devices yet, and ledger hasn’t confirmed how it happened. but read it as a business plan:
get authorized, sell real stuff for years, quietly sell the company under an NDA, keep the badge, ship devices that phone home, then drain everything the second someone notices
and was ledger even told the shop got sold? nobody’s said so
“authorized reseller” means ledger trusted whoever ran the shop back in 2022. says nothing about who runs it today
bought your hardware wallet anywhere but the manufacturer? open it up today, ledger literally has a guide for that. then move to a fresh seed on a device bought direct
wonder who’s going to answer for this: the chinese frontman from heilongjiang, the shop’s previous owners, or ledger itself
@Ledger clearly needs to keep a much closer eye on who they call official resellers, and take way more responsibility for who sells their devices and how
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses.

> be ledger.
> work with cryptobilis. authorized reseller.
> except the box that are send are not the box that left the factory.
> someone in that chain opens it and plants a second board.
> the secure element is left alone on purpose. genuine check still says yes.
> the implant is on the display line, the spi bus, and listens.
> when you set the device up, the 24 words scroll on the screen.
> the bug reads the button presses, rebuilds the phrase, and ships it out over lte.
> the device sent you seed phrase to someone else.
result: someone has your seed. they wait until the balance is fat, then sweep btc, eth, and tron from a wallet they control.
on-chain trace today: about $87m sitting across 98 addresses labeled ledger user theft. 16.8k eth, 211 btc, plus usdt and usdd.
ledger has confirmed the reseller. sales paused. if you bought from cryptobilis in the last 90 days, do not even turn it on. if you already did, the seed is burned. move what is left to a new device and a new phrase you generated yourself.

Here is the video: A Muslim preacher explains the fatwa permitting suicide bombers to stretch each other's anuses in daily training sessions with male jihadists at their mosque. They train each other to insert explosive devices of different sizes and improve their ability to hold them in their rectums.
He clarified that training with other Muslim men to expand their anal capacity for larger bombs does not count as homosexuality, as it is done as part of jihad to achieve martyrdom.

If the Commission's findings are right, that may be false accounting, misleading auditors and fraud.

🚨 LISA NANDY CONFIRMS 12 MILLION BRITONS WILL BE BANNED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA IN MARCH!
Look at the face in this photo because she is preparing to strip basic digital freedoms from twelve million young people.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy just confirmed at the Labour conference that a full state prohibition takes effect in March, blocking under 16s from X, YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit.
Nandy celebrated this mass censorship as an amazing force for good, openly boasting that she is determined to change the rights of children forever.
Let me expose what this authoritarian scheme is actually designed to achieve.
To police this ban, Whitehall will eventually demand facial biometric scans and government digital ID from every adult who wants to log onto the internet.
This drops at the exact same time Burnham is setting up a state information defence centre, which Nigel Farage accurately branded George Orwell's Ministry of Truth!
Why is nobody in the mainstream media sounding the alarm about twelve million citizens being locked out of the modern public square?
The BBC and state broadcasters are quietly clapping along while Westminster politicians build a digital cage around our everyday lives.
Retweet this immediately to expose Lisa Nandy and resist this terrifying assault on our fundamental freedoms.

Did you know the Netherlands has its own version of the Rotherham rapes and the terms used to cover them up are arguably worse?
What British reports called “Asian grooming gangs”, Dutch police, media and government routinely call “loverboy networks.”
The term, in a sick and twisted way, sounds almost romantic. But what it really is, is a network of predominantly Moroccan men, who operate in a systematic way, nation wide. Their MO is to isolate a girl from family and friends, then pushes her into sex with others and into prostitution.
Don’t believe me? Here’s the official state website referring to it:

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband empower Hamas because they need Muslim votes.
Watch Ghazi Hamad in the video below. The Hamas leader promised another October 7 massacre, then another, then another, until all the Jews in Israel are annihilated.
Labour heard him but punished the Jews anyway because Ed and Andy are so evil and corrupt they will pay for Muslim votes with Jewish blood.

Sachsen-Anhalts AfD-Vize Hans-Thomas Tillschneider wollte verhindern, dass wir dieses Video veröffentlichen: In seinem Wahlkreis-Büro zeigte er mir - wohl in einem unbedachten Moment, mehr oder weniger aus Versehen - eine Tasse der russischen Armee. Er merkte offenbar, dass dies nicht zu seinem Image als Friedenspolitiker passt - und schickte seine Anwälte los. Wir veröffentlichen diese Aufnahmen natürlich trotzdem, weil sie sehr tief blicken lassen und zeigen, dass der ideologische Kopf von Ulrich Siegmund, der Vater des Programms der Landes-AfD, und ein selbsternannter deutscher Patriot, offenbar ein Verehrer der russischen Streitkräfte ist. Die ganze Video-Reportage bei Youtube auf dem Ronzheimer-Account!

Like many, I've barely slept since the Coldcard incident. My mind has been racing on how to stop this from ever happening again.
I believe I've come up with a novel wallet design that solves Bitcoin's self-custody trilemma.
