The Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Mist Security, 23pds, stated that if the modification of the Ledger device's PCB is indeed as described by former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès, the attacker would possess a considerable level of technical skill.23pds mentioned that the possible attack process involves the wallet generating a mnemonic phrase within a secure element and displaying it on the screen for the user to write down. A malicious module could obtain the displayed content through screen data lines such as SPI, record the complete mnemonic phrase, and then send the data to the attacker via LTE/eSIM. The secure element can prevent the private key from being directly read or exported, but it cannot stop external modules from accessing the information currently displayed on the screen. He noted that the above analysis is based on the premise that the PCB has indeed been modified in the described manner, and the relevant attack paths and hardware implantation still require independent verification.Mark Karpelès previously stated that a Ledger hardware wallet he received was suspected of being implanted with a spy module. The device came from Malaysia, the outer packaging was intact with shrink wrap, and the implant was hidden in the position where the screen originally had a cushion, containing LTE communication components, an antenna, eSIM, and a microcontroller connected to the Ledger SPI bus, capable of analyzing the characters displayed to the user and sending relevant data after the mnemonic phrase setup is completed.

According to Cointelegraph, data from the French Ministry of the Interior shows that from January to mid-August 2026, France has experienced 90 cases involving cryptocurrency-related kidnappings, extortion, and violent thefts, averaging one incident every 2.5 days.Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis reported that as of mid-2026, there have been 30 publicly recorded incidents of violent attacks involving cryptocurrency in France; security company Gart.io tracked 73 real-world attacks occurring in France this year, surpassing the 66 in the United States and 27 in the United Kingdom.Eric Jardine, head of research at Chainalysis, believes that the surge in attacks is likely related to large-scale data breaches. The leak of French tax data and the user data breach disclosed by the cryptocurrency tax reporting platform Waltio in 2026 may have allowed attackers to obtain the identities, addresses, and asset information of cryptocurrency holders.The report also noted that over 40% of related attacks in France involve relatives or acquaintances of the victims, with criminals potentially identifying targets in advance through social media, on-chain data, and leaked information. French authorities are coordinating investigations through a specialized organized crime judicial agency.

According to Decrypt, Decrypt has announced that its self-custody Money Accounts are now live on Solana, providing readers with a single balance that can be used across all Decrypt products to support its financial and intelligence market, The Information Exchange. Decrypt co-founder Ilan Hazan stated that the goal is to achieve one account and one balance, allowing users to utilize various financial tools directly from where they obtain information, from prediction markets to perpetual contracts and swaps. Users can manage all positions in one place without worrying about wallets, cross-chain bridges, or public chains, with relevant partners to be announced in the coming weeks.Deposits and balances are denominated in USDT on Solana, and the same balance can support products such as Earn, Swaps, Predictions, and Perps. Gas and rent are sponsored through joint signatures by payers, so users do not need to hold SOL or consider network fees. The account operates in a self-custody mode, meaning Decrypt does not hold private keys and cannot perform operations on behalf of users, with a private key export feature coming soon. Cross-chain operations are completed at the underlying level; for example, the Myriad Predictions market settles on the BNB Chain, yet users can still trade using the same Solana USDT balance without needing to interact with a cross-chain bridge.Existing Myriad Wallet users can directly use Decrypt Money Accounts, with one account and one balance covering both Decrypt and Myriad without the need for migration.
