JUST IN: Ledger CTO Issues Critical Warning
đžLedgerâs CTO warns of a âlarge-scaleâ crypto hack targeting the JavaScript ecosystem.
đžAttackers appear to have hijacked a widely used JavaScript package (error-ex, npm), injecting malware that automatically swaps intended wallet addresses with those controlled by hackers.
đžThe malware silently hijacks transactions across multiple cryptocurrenciesâBitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and moreâwhile users may believe theyâre sending funds to legitimate addresses.
đžUrgent recommendation: If youâre not using a hardware wallet that displays the true recipient address (like Ledger devices), avoid all on-chain transactions for now.
đžThis is being described as possibly the largest open-source supply chain attack in history, underlining the systemic risk posed by poisoned JavaScript libraries.
