A user claimed to have lost $2.5 million from a secured Ledger

-

Ledger is facing some serious heat after a user claimed to have lost around $2.5 million in crypto from their hardware wallet.

This includes 10 Bitcoin worth about $1 million and $1.5 million in NFTs. But how?

Security breach? User error?

The user, who goes by @anchor_drops on X, reported that the assets were stolen from a Ledger Nano S, which was bought directly from the company.

The seed phrase was securely stored and never entered online, and also, there weren’t any suspicious transactions signed.

“The device had not been used for two months,” @anchor_drops stated, raising some inconvenient questions about how this security breach could have occurred in the first place.

Bad news

This incident not surprisingly has ignited a heated debate in the crypto community. Some users are pointing fingers at a known, long-standing vulnerability that might have reared its ugly head again.

Others are expressing concerns about potential flaws in Ledger’s security system that could allow such a theft to happen.

On the other hand, not everyone is convinced that Ledger is at fault here. Some community members are suggesting that human error might be the real culprit behind this loss.

Even if the user thought they were being cautious, mishandling the wallet could have led to this situation.

Speculations

One commenter noted that if this kind of loss were common, we’d likely see a lot more crypto holders crying foul about their missing funds.

As of now, Ledger hasn’t responded to the user’s claims, leaving many questions unanswered. With so much at stake in the world of crypto, all we can say is be careful out there!
