Odaily News: French hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger received multiple reports of malicious implants months before its latest security crisis occurred. Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès stated that at least two people had contacted Ledger since December 2025 to report tampered devices, but no public warning was found to have been issued.Security researcher Joe Grand stated that on March 4, 2026, he reported a malicious implant to Ledger. The implant was found in a Nano X purchased through Lazada in Thailand in August 2025. Ledger confirmed the findings and said it would launch an internal investigation, but did not proactively alert customers.Mark Karpelès believes that the increase in the number of reports and the growing sophistication of the techniques used should prompt Ledger to take action and at least remind customers to remain cautious. Ledger declined to comment on how it handled Joe Grand's disclosure, only directing people to view its public statement on X.The Ledger security crisis became public on October 9, involving the loss of crypto assets from wallets sold by Southeast Asian authorized reseller CryptoBilis; Ledger confirmed that one affected device contained an unauthorized implant.

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Bitcoin News released a podcast in which former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès and Foundation CEO Zach Herbert discussed the largest supply chain attack in crypto industry history. Mark Karpelès stated that he discovered the spy implant 3 weeks before the funds were stolen and contacted Ledger, but received no response. The implant had a built-in hidden cellular modem that could directly read the seed phrase on the screen and passed Ledger's own checks; even setting a passphrase could not prevent the seed phrase from being stolen. Mark Karpelès said that with $5 million, he could create an implant that would only be detectable through X-ray. The episode also discussed the hardware wallet reseller model, the Malaysian reseller behind the attack, on-chain tracking of stolen crypto assets, the spread of the attack to Europe, why Trezor was not targeted, hardware wallet security, and multi-party computation solutions. The episode timeline shows that the amount stolen from hardware wallets reached $100 million, with $86 million transferred out within 24 hours.
Odaily News: OneKey founder Yishi posted on X platform "How to Turn an iPhone into a Cold Wallet."Yishi stated: "I recommend using an iPhone 17 or newer, running iOS 27 or higher, and replacing the device with a new one every one to two years... I would not use an iPhone 16 or earlier as a device for long-term signing of important asset transactions. Even an iPhone 17 with iOS 27 is only the minimum configuration I can currently accept. For long-term custody of large amounts of funds, I prefer to use a dedicated signing device, which should have a transparent security design and be capable of continuous maintenance and on-device transaction verification. Its firmware, supply chain, and recovery process still require further review. Keeping the phone offline is a precautionary measure. But factors such as hardware, patch level, BFU/AFU status, passcode, and wallet key management determine the actual effectiveness of this precaution."

Odaily News: The Finance Committee of the French National Assembly has passed amendment No. I-CF821, which would require holders of self-custodied crypto assets valued at or above €100,000 (approximately $112,000) to declare their holdings.The declared value is based on December 31 of each year, and those who fail to declare as required may face fines of up to €10,000. The proposal was put forward by Charles de Courson, Jean-Pierre Bataille, and Michel Castellani, aiming to combat tax evasion.The amendment still needs to be resubmitted and approved when the National Assembly reviews the revenue portion of the budget before it can be incorporated into French law. After the Finance Committee passed the relevant amendment, it rejected the revenue portion of the 2027 budget by a vote of 31 to 3, and lawmakers are expected to begin debate on Tuesday starting from the government's original draft.
