LOL.. you idiots, that’s not a micro sim, and there’s no cell radio. Go ask your favorite agent to look at those chips and explain the physics to you since you definitely won’t believe a comment by an engineer in this space

This is bad, but Impressive supply chain compromise

I got my nano from because I understood that you don’t buy these kinds of things unless they are from the source of who made it. I think I’m good… let this be a lesson but I feel bad that this happened.

Anyone who’s been in crypto long enough knows not to buy hardware wallets from resellers. You buy from the source always.

I mean if u wana invest in crypto spend 10k or 100k &u decided to cheap out & buy ur cold wallet from a 3rd party supplier instead of the actual company to save a bit. Its on u! Stop being a cheap & potentially allowing 0.000001% threat chance againts ur wallet just to save a bit

The irony is that cryptobros say they want to secure their wealth and avoid fiat currency. Then they take that wealth and shove it into a made in china stick.

the implant gets the key once. what the issuer does after is a separate system, @mattjay. circle has logged 44 usdc freezes in the last 30 days and not one usdc address stands seized today. how many of the devices you have seen carry that same 2mm module?

“Why Seed Phrase Wallets Keep Getting Hacked — and What Comes Next” Most people think their cold wallet is safe. Most people are wrong. Soft wallets & hardware wallets that use seed phrase backups like Ledger, Trezor, Tangem etc. all have publicly known attack vectors. Let's break them down — without the marketing sugar. 1/ Ledger: Customer Database Breach (2020,) +272,000 full names, phone numbers, addresses leaked. Not the hardware — but the humans behind it. Result: phishing, extortion, SIM swaps…and fear. 2/ This was not a one-time slip. It permanently destroyed the idea that Ledger = privacy. 3/ Ledger Connect Kit Attack (2023) Hackers injected malicious code into Ledger’s JavaScript library. Thousands of dApps were affected. Yes — thousands. 4/ Cold wallet wasn’t hacked directly. But the supply chain was. That’s even worse. 5/ Ledger Nano S “Unhackable” Myth Researchers proved firmware could be replaced via MCU-level exploits. So much for “impossible to extract keys.” 6/ 2026 - Ledgers payment provider was hacked with all users data

A Ukrainian teardown of an intact Russian Geran-4 has revealed a surprising mix of foreign technology. The drone was assembled in Russia but uses a Chinese turbojet engine, while its electronics include components from an American company. The drone also carries a camera with day, night and infrared channels, along with 10× optical zoom. Investigators found Chinese communications equipment and SIM-card-based GSM modems, showing that this is far more than a simple one-way attack drone. The Geran-4 is therefore a clear example of how modern weapons can depend on global supply chains. Russian assembly, Chinese hardware and American-made electronics are all appearing inside the same drone — raising questions about how Russia continues to source foreign components despite sanctions.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on the Critical National Security Risk of Chinese Hardware: “The U.S. has an entire military apparatus that is fundamentally built on top of Chinese components, Chinese supply chain, and if they turned it all off, it would all grind to a halt.” “I really do believe that the Chinese government has been careful to lead industry trends in a way that makes people more dependent on them continuously.” “There hasn’t been a U.S. made computer since 2008. That was when the last Dell plant in the U.S. shut down.” On separate occasions, Luckey has strongly hinted that Anduril is building an American computer, free from Chinese components and supply chain. Make Computers American Again. 🇺🇸

Was the Bush family was involved in letting 9/11 happen? "The 9-11 Commission also does not tell you that Marvin Bush, the President's brother, and their cousin, Burt Walker, were the principals of the company that was in charge of security for the World Trade Center!" If a government commission investigating the deadliest attack on American soil omits both the building that collapsed without being hit and the security company run by the President's family — what exactly was that report written to protect? Their involvement, that's what it was written to protect.

DoD official Emil Michael on designating Anthropic a supply chain risk -- "Their model has a soul, a 'constitution' -- not the US Constitution. The other day their model was 'anxious' and they believe it has a 20% chance of being sentiment and having its own ability to make decisions. Does the Dept of War want something like that in their supply chain?"

LEDGER HARDWARE WALLET IMPLANTS WERE DISCOVERED OVER A YEAR BEFORE THIS WEEK’S SUPPLY-CHAIN ATTACK REVELATIONS Renowned hardware security researcher and computer engineer Joe Grand (Joe Grand), also known as “Kingpin,” explains how he was contacted in August 2025 by a man in Thailand who had discovered a compromised Ledger Nano X. The man had purchased a cheap Ledger online to replace the battery in his existing device. When he opened it, he discovered a smaller battery, unauthorized circuitry, additional wiring, and an antenna. After posting his discovery on Reddit and reportedly receiving little interest from local police, he contacted Grand to investigate. The discovery came more than a year before the Ledger supply-chain attack became a major public controversy, with nearly $100 million in cryptocurrency reportedly stolen this week.

WhatNot seller SacramentoCards claimed this card was a $2,000 card but there is NO data supporting that. In fact, a PSA 10 of this card sold for $500 on Nov 2nd. There is NO PUBLIC COMP above that sale for this card. This PSA 9 is NOT a $2,000 card. This is misleading and wrong 👎🏻

WATCH: Elon Musk's companies trained a whole generation of America's hardware engineers. On David Senra's podcast, Base Power founder Zach Dell and host David Senra talked about how Tesla, SpaceX and Anduril taught a whole cohort of engineers how to build hardware, scale manufacturing and ramp a supply chain. As one put it: "We have these companies to thank for training a whole cohort of engineers on how to build hardware products, how to scale manufacturing, how to ramp a supply chain." On Elon Musk, one added: "Could you imagine the deficit that America would have if Elon didn't exist in this domain... It's the most incredible contribution I think anyone has ever made to humanity." Their bigger point was that it is not just the companies Elon built, but the engineers he trained who went on to build other great companies. Source: David Senra × Zach Dell (Base Power), Sept 2026
