Criminals are mailing altered Ledger devices to steal cryptocurrency

Scammers are sending fake Ledger devices to Ledger customers exposed in a recent data breach that are used to steal cryptocurrency wallets. Ledger has been a popular target by scammers lately with rising cryptocurrency prices and the popularity of hardware wallets to secure cryptofunds. Scammers sent fake replacement Ledger device with a poorly written letter explaining that the device was sent to replace their existing one as their customer information was leaked online on the RaidForum hacking forum. After becoming suspicious of the device, they shared pictures of the Ledger’s printed circuit board on Reddit that clearly show the device had been modified. Security researcher and offensive USB cable/implant.
