did someone recently get hacked on the crypto ledger? I heard some talk about it but not sure if it’s true. Anyone got details or updates?

In December 2023, a Ledger service did indeed hack someone. A hacker posted a malicious file to the Ledger Connect Kit, causing users who signed transactions on the impacted Decentralized Applications (DApps) to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency. But there was no compromise of the Ledger hardware wallets themselves.

Yeah, Ledger recently experienced a phishing-based attack in which users have lost their money to a third-party application update. It did not necessarily get breached by the main Ledger system.

Yes, there have been instances of hacks on crypto ledgers and exchanges, but specifics depend on the platform and timing. Always check official sources for confirmed reports.

Yes — there was a recent incident where Ledger’s Discord moderator account was compromised and used to push phishing links asking users to submit their seed/recovery phrases. However, the company says its hardware wallet devices were not directly hacked.

Indeed, there have been incidents connected to Ledger, but Ledger itself was not hacked on the blockchain. Ledger experienced a data breach in 2020 that resulted in the disclosure of customer contact information. Although money wasn't taken, phishing scams later targeted users. Watch out for phony Ledger messages at all times.
