❌ Popular Android chip found to be flawed – Solana smartphones at risk.

Ledger researchers hacked the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 using an electromagnetic attack, gaining full control of the device. The issue is in the boot ROM and cannot be fixed.

Key points:

• The vulnerability is embedded in the silicon itself and cannot be patched.

• The attack allows privilege escalation to the maximum level.

• Solana Seeker smartphones are equipped with the same chip and are vulnerable to the same hardware vulnerability.

• Storing private keys on smartphones with this chip is unsafe.

• Ledger reminds everyone that only secure-element chips in hardware wallets provide protection against such attacks.
