🔐 A “secure” wallet that sends your 24 words to a thief over a mobile network? That’s what Ledger confirmed on October 13.
Mariam, in Conakry, wants to buy a hardware wallet to keep her savings in $USDT. The cheapest one is from an online reseller. Her question: “Isn’t it the same device everywhere?”
📌 The facts
• Ledgers sold by CryptoBilis, a reseller listed as authorized in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, contained a hidden spy chip.
• During setup, the chip reads the 24 words displayed on the screen and sends them via an eSIM (4G network).
• Losses estimated by on-chain investigators: $86–93M, across more than 300 wallets. Ledger has not verified these figures.
• Tether froze around 10 M$ USDT. MediaMarkt suspended Ledger sales in Europe after a case was reported in Germany.
🧠 How it works
The 24 words (recovery phrase) are the master key: anyone who has them can empty the wallet from any device. Ledger’s secure chip was not hacked. The attack happens BEFORE that, along the route from the factory to you.
⚖️ The nuance
This is not a software vulnerability. The sales chain failed. Trezor and OneKey cut ties with this reseller as a precaution.
👉 Mariam’s checklist
1. Prefer to buy from the brand’s official website (even an “authorized” reseller can fail).
2. Reject any device that has already been opened or comes with words already printed.
3. Never photograph or type your 24 words on a phone.
4. In doubt about a device? Set up a new wallet on a trusted device, then transfer the funds.
Same lesson for a simple wallet on your phone: your 12 or 24 words are your money.
Where do you buy your crypto hardware? 👇
Not financial advice. DYOR.

95% of the “VIP signals” on Telegram and X use this mathematical scam to strip you.Have you ever seen these Telegram channels that show a “92% successful trades” rate with all-green screenshot after screenshot?
Here’s the exact method they use to make you believe they’re geniuses—while they send you straight to liquidation:
1. The infinite Stop-Loss scam
Their trade goes up by 1%? They shout: “TP1 HIT! +50% with 50x leverage!”
The trade drops by 25%? They don’t cut anything. They wait for days hoping it rebounds, or they discreetly liquidate the position without ever publishing the red report in the channel.

The "good Samaritans" of the internet... 🤡
Ever since I started posting my beginner logbook here, something fascinating has been happening. Suddenly I get tons of comments and messages from "professional traders" who absolutely want to help me get x100 on my $SOL
{spot}(SOLUSDT)
It’s crazy how generous people are when they think a newbie has 20 euros in their pocket! 😂
Jokes aside, the golden rule I learned this week: if someone comes to you first to offer to multiply your cryptos, it is ALWAYS a scam.
What’s the most ridiculous scam message you’ve seen since you’ve been in crypto? Make me laugh in the comments 👇

I've always been told that free money doesn't exist. Especially online.
Yet, ever since I've been on Binance, I see tons of folks talking about "Launchpool" and claiming they're earning new cryptos for free. My scam alert went off immediately.
Before I dive in this afternoon to see what it's really about, I'd like to hear from the veterans.
Is Launchpool a solid play for a small wallet like mine, or is it just a scheme for those with thousands of euros already?
Be honest 👇

One of the strongest articles ******Do not underestimate $3… This is how fraud begins on Telegram and BinanceDo not underestimate $3… This is how fraud begins on Telegram and Binance**
In the world of cryptocurrencies, many believe that small amounts are not worth the significant caution, but through my personal experience, I discovered that **fraud does not always start with large amounts**, but can start with a very simple request:
**“Just send $3”**.

⛔📵 Scam Alert ⛔📵
I just received 250 coins of a token called MIRROR in my Web3 wallet worth $6, created less than an hour ago.
As I speak, it has already shot up 500%. But this is a scam via airdrop, and even Binance has warned about it, so don't invest a dollar in this scam or you'll lose your money. For those who have already invested, sorry to hear that, but you won't be able to withdraw anything.

#scam #arnaque FRANCE: this morning, the number +33948355144 contacted me on my mobile. The individual claimed to be an employee of LEDGER.
He had my full identity, physical address, and email.
After informing me of suspicious activities on my ledger wallet, he tried to convince me to share personal information received via email in order to "cancel the ongoing crypto transfers from the other side of the planet and secure my account".
I quickly ended the communication since I haven’t had a ledger for years....
Stay safe out there!
