Scammer Lost $4.8M in Bitcoin to Tampered Ledger Wallets: Chainalysis

Chainalysis reported that a scammer lost $4.8 million in Bitcoin after using tampered Ledger hardware wallets, which redirected funds to attacker-controlled addresses. The stolen BTC originated from a task scam that paid victims to fake product sales and reviews, then required deposits before releasing supposed earnings. The incident highlights ongoing supply-chain risks in hardware wallets and the scale of illicit crypto flows, but is unlikely to move broader market prices.
