The secure crypto Ledger wallet has been hacked. Now it is not very secureSo, the crypto Ledger wallet was hacked.This is a cold cryptocurrency wallet, considered perhaps the most reliable and secure. Keep your bitcoins in an isolated digital space and don’t worry about keeping them safe - intruders will not physically be able to reach them.However, the attackers did not try to break some wallets, but came to the task of scale. They implemented malware in the Ledger’s Connect Kit. In 40 minutes, the hacker managed to steal from the user’s "safe" wallets about $600K (according to ZachXBT estimates).The fact that the malware was detected and isolated in 40 minutes speaks for Ledger. It’s good that they can effectively fix a problem. Technically, the problem can be considered solved, although reputational losses are obvious. So far it is unclear who will be responsible for the loss of users.Ledger said that the malicious code came from a former employee who in turn was the victim of a phishing attack. In itself, this statement speaks of a remarkably light-minded attitude towards security. So, as we understand the former employee has the ability to edit the source code. If this is the case, Ledger faces the huge administrative problem.It would be a huge problem if even an company manager could unilaterally change the code of a running application. This is especially true if the app positions itself as super-secure.Such incidents only confirm the correctness of our decision to develop our own crypto-wallet.In Meta Force scale projects, there can be no unimportant details. Everything is important. The Ledger example has shown that even a perfect IT solution is useless if there are business administration problems. This is why you should use third-party applications with great care, especially when it comes to critical IT infrastructure.#Ledger #cryptowallet #criticalITinfrastructure
