Ledger hardware wallets suffered a $93 million drain after attackers exploited a flawed ECDSA verification in a malicious firmware update, siphoning ETH and stablecoins through mixers. This incident highlights persistent security vulnerabilities in the crypto hardware wallet sector and may lead to increased scrutiny of firmware update processes across the industry. The event is likely to dampen sentiment around hardware wallet providers and increase demand for multi-signature or air-gapped solutions.
