Sharing is caring, this is good for bitcoin /s
I'm glad to no longer be in crypto. It gave me anxiety
You hear about the hardware crypto wallets with sim cards in them that read the pincode off the displays? That was a slick as shit supply chain attack:
The intial wallets discovered has crude wiring soldiered on, but later ones had custom black PCBs that looked very much like they were part of the wallets circuitry unless you knew exactly what you were looking for.
I really miss the old internet before paywalls were put up everywhere.
"Ledger is currently investigating serious allegations of tampering involving its hardware wallets sold through a Southeast Asian reseller, CryptoBilis. Reports indicate that this tampering has resulted in the theft of approximately $86 to $93 million in cryptocurrency from numerous wallets." https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/10/09/ledger-investigates-potential-wallet-tampering-after-reports-of-usd86-million-in-crypto-stolen
Lol.
Honestly, good for them.
I thought that too, until I learned it was North Korea. Probably not great that they acquired that much dark money.
Name one international this year that was worse
I'm happy to answer your question, but I don't think I understand what you're asking me. Can you clarify?
North Korea too. Oof.
PRNK has been developing a digital theft industry for over a decade. It's a branch of the military.
Oh no! Anyway
Ah, so crypto is mainly used to prop up regimes. Got it.
Good for them.
Hah hah
Lol this is why you don't seriously invest in crypto, folks.
Nicely done.
