Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis revealed that a scammer lost more than 60 BTC, approximately $4.8 million in Bitcoin, due to tampered Ledger hardware wallets. The funds originated from a task scam where users were paid to create fake sales and reviews, then told to add their own money to unlock their balance. On September 22, the scammer transferred the proceeds into three separate Ledger addresses, all of which were drained on October 9. Ledger has linked all confirmed losses to devices sold by reseller CryptoBilis. The investigation has traced over $86 million in suspected thefts.
