Fake Ledger Wallet Exposed With Hidden Chip Stealing Seed Phrases and PINs



A cybersecurity researcher from Brazil exposed a large-scale scam operation after buying a “Ledger” hardware wallet from a Chinese marketplace listing that looked legitimate and was priced the same as the official store. The packaging appeared original from a distance, but the device was counterfeit.

When the researcher connected it to Ledger Live installed from ledger.com, it failed the Genuine Check, confirming it was not a real Ledger device. This failure led the researcher to open the device and examine its internal hardware and firmware.

Cloned Websites and Malicious Apps

Inside the shell, the researcher found a completely different chip, not the type used in a hardware wallet. The chip markings had been physically scraped off to hide identification. As per the researcher’s Reddit post, the device also contained a WiFi and Bluetooth antenna, which is not present in a real Ledger Nano S+. By analyzing the chip layout, they identified it as an ESP32-S3 with internal flash memory.

When the device booted, it initially masked itself as a Ledger Nano S+ 7704 with serial numbers and Ledger factory identity, but later revealed its true manufacturer as Espressif Systems.

After dumping the firmware and reverse engineering it, the researcher found that the PIN created on the device was stored in plaintext. The seed phrases from wallets generated on the device were also stored in plaintext. The firmware also contained multiple hardcoded domain references pointing to external command-and-control servers. These findings revealed that the device was designed to collect sensitive wallet data, with links to external servers.

The researcher also examined how the attack might work in practice. Although the hardware contained a WiFi and Bluetooth antenna, the firmware did not show e

Bitcoin Hits $78K as Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Is Fully Open



Bitcoin surged on April 17 after the US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz was open again and shipping passage was being restored.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that Iran had announced the strait was “fully open and ready for full passage.” He added that sea mines had been removed, or were being removed, with the help of the United States.

Earlier today, Trump posted again that Chinese President Xi Jinping was “very happy” that the Strait of Hormuz was open or rapidly opening. He also said that a meeting coming up in China could be historic.

The market reacted fast as Bitcoin jumped to a 10-week high above $78,000, reaching around $78,400 for the first time since February 4.

At press time, $BTC is trading at $77,163 and is up 3% on the day. Over the past seven days, Bitcoin has been up 6.37%. Ethereum rose 3% after the announcement and is up 5.88% over the weekly period.

Why Markets Moved So Fast

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil shipping routes in the world, carrying roughly one-fifth of global crude supply.

Any threat to the route can push oil prices higher and pressure global markets. Reopening the passage reduces supply fears and lowers immediate stress in risk assets.

The rally also came as Trump claimed more progress in talks with Iran. He said both sides would work together to clear mines from the strait.

Trump also said a permanent peace deal between the US, Israel, and Iran was “mostly complete,” with more talks likely this weekend. He added Iran had agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely and would not receive frozen US funds.

Conflicting Signals Remain

The rally came despite mixed responses from Tehran. Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian rejected claims that the strait was fully open.

He said Iran would continue c

The broader cryptocurrency market’s confidence in Shiba Inu is low, as the hype for meme currencies is diminishing. Traders are looking for utility and real-world use cases instead of chasing meme coins.Therefore, the pressure now remains on the Shiba Inu team to make the token gain use cases in the financial sector. Though the team launched a string of releases, none of them have solved any problems plaguing the monetary system. This adds to more strain on SHIB’s prospects as the token is unable to catch up with the real world.Investing in Shiba Inu has now become like a lottery system. It’s sheer luck when it surges and bad luck when the prices fall. There is no in between, and this has put off the majority of investors. The same money can be invested in several other cryptocurrencies that can generate profits. Investing in SHIB has become a sure shot way to lose money as the dog-themed token is unable to survive without its hype and buzz.

Related Reading: X Money's Crypto Ambitions Draw Fire From Senator Over Security FearsAuthorities Hold McCann Pending AutopsyTanzanian police are questioning McCann, founder of the crypto hedge fund Asymmetric, after his fiancée, Ashly Robinson, 31, died on April 9 at a hospital in Zanzibar. Robinson had been rushed there after hotel staff found her unresponsive in her room the day before. Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide - but they are holding McCann's passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy. The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them. Officials said the two were separated and moved to different rooms following what police described as a "misunderstanding."

Staff later found Robinson in her room with a belt around her neck.McCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment. Ashly Robinson, right, with her sister, Alyssa Endres.

According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time. Robinson, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, posted her last photo April 5, showing her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday. The family's challenge to the police ruling adds another layer of uncertainty to a case that is already far from closed.

Those features can help XRPL win pilots, and production flows from firms that will not touch open, permissionless order books.

However, the value-capture question does not disappear. Permissioned venues can settle stablecoin to stablecoin. They can clear tokenized funds in issued units. They can use XRPL as rails while minimizing exposure to XRP, unless the venue’s liquidity model, quoting conventions, and routing paths put XRP at the center.

This is why the distinction between XRPL as infrastructure and XRP as money keeps returning.

Judge Rules Caitlyn Jenner’s JENNER Memecoin Is Not a Security in Class Action Blow

TL:DR:

Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr. determined that the token does not meet the criteria of an investment contract, invalidating claims of unregistered securities.

The lead plaintiff, Lee Greenfield, reported losses exceeding $40,000 after investing in the Solana and Ethereum versions of the asset.

The ruling concludes that there was no “common enterprise” according to the Howey Test, exempting Jenner from federal securities fraud allegations.

On Friday, a district judge in California issued a landmark ruling by decreeing that Caitlyn Jenner’s JENNER cryptocurrency does not constitute a financial security. The decision follows a class-action lawsuit accusing the celebrity of promoting unregulated assets.

The court analyzed the case under the Howey Test, a legal tool that defines whether an asset is an investment contract. The judge concluded that there was no “common enterprise” or technical capital pooling mechanisms to justify the classification.

Despite the plaintiff’s argument that Jenner’s fame influenced the expectation of profits, the ruling maintains that investors did not share profits or losses collectively. This technical nuance is crucial for differentiating memecoins from traditional stocks.

The defense for Jenner and her late manager, Sophia Hutchins, always maintained that the Ethereum-based token lacked the characteristics of a security. The court finally validated this stance, pointing out deficiencies in the prosecution’s arguments.
