A crypto scammer targeted by Ledger spy chip attack loses 60 BTC
According to CoinDesk, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis disclosed on Thursday on X that a cryptocurrency scammer who profited from a "task scam" (luring victims with paid review boosting or order brushing, then demanding account top-ups under the guise of a "negative balance") transferred the illicit proceeds to three Ledger hardware wallet addresses. These addresses were subsequently drained by attackers, resulting in a total loss of 60 BTC valued at over $4.9 million, making it one of the biggest victims in this Ledger device intrusion incident.
