The largest supply chain attack in crypto history just happened — and these two men were the ones who caught it, documented it, and are now telling the world exactly how it works.
Rob sits down with Mark Karpeles, former CEO of Mt. Gox, and Zach Herbert of Foundation Devices to break down the Ledger hardware wallet attack that's already drained over $100 million from Bitcoin holders. Mark walks through how he discovered malicious chips hidden inside compromised Ledger devices, how they silently read seed phrases off the screen, and how a hidden cellular chip phones that data straight to attackers.
Here is what we cover:
• How Mark discovered the compromised Ledger devices and the implant hiding inside
• How the hidden chip reads your seed phrase off the screen and phones it home
• The hijacked Malaysian reseller behind the attack, and how it spread into Europe
• Why Ledger was targeted over Trezor, and whether the stolen funds can be tracked
• What hardware wallet security needs to look like next, including multi-party computation
