    Hacked Ledger Nano X Wallets Steal Seed Phrases Via SPI Bus [image: 1791821418903-55a8f487-0c2f-4cca-8e7f-2a35fef9b782-image.jpeg] Security researchers have uncovered modified Ledger Nano X hardware wallets being sold that contain hidden cellular implants designed to steal user's 24-word recovery phrases. Unlike traditional attacks targeting firmware or private keys, this attack intercepts the unencrypted SPI communication between the Ledger's secure element and OLED display. A hidden microcontroller monitors the display traffic, reconstructs recovery words from the transmitted pixels, and sends the stolen phrase to the attacker using a built-in LTE modem and eSIM. [image: 1791821122776-9e6b3e40-eb02-4f44-9f42-39bfa2769e90-image.jpeg] The secure element itself is never compromised. Because the underlying Ledger hardware remains genuine, the device can still pass Ledger Live's authenticity checks while silently exposing the recovery phrase. Hardware hacker Joe Grand first reverse engineered one of these implants, presenting his findings at hardwear.io USA in May 2026. In September 2026, Tibane Labs examined two newer generations of the implant, showing how the attack has evolved from hand-soldered wires into sophisticated, purpose-built hardware. The latest version uses a black-coated flexible PCB concealed beneath the OLED, a Nordic nRF9151 cellular module, an eSIM, and a custom antenna. The original battery remains untouched, and component markings have been deliberately removed to make identification more difficult. The increasingly sophisticated designs suggest these implants are being developed for repeatable, potentially large-scale deployment rather than isolated experiments. Separately, Ledger is investigating reports of cryptocurrency theft involving CryptoBilis, an authorized reseller operating in Southeast Asia. On-chain investigator Specter estimates that more than $86 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron may have been stolen. Ledger has not confirmed those losses. Ledger has asked CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments while the investigation continues. Importantly, researchers have not established a direct connection between the hardware implants and the reported CryptoBilis thefts. Ledger has not confirmed the cause of the losses. Ledger advises customers who purchased devices from CryptoBilis within the past 90 days not to initialize them. Customers who have already used these devices should consider transferring their assets to a trusted wallet with a newly generated recovery phrase.

  • Solflare Crypto Wallet Vulnerability - "xpass exploit"

    Update: Details of the Solflare “xpass” Exploit March 13, 2026 Over the past year I have received many requests asking when I would release the full details of the Solflare xpass exploit. Today, I am publishing those details. This post serves as an update to my original disclosure in Feb 2025 regarding a purposeful backdoor master key I discovered in the Solflare Chrome wallet extension that allows a wallet vault to be decrypted without requiring the user's wallet password. At the time of the original report I privately disclosed this to Solflare and delayed public publication to give Solflare time to address the exploit. The Core Issue Solflare stores two critical values inside the extension's LevelDB storage: solflaredata – encrypted wallet vault containing the seed phrase <-- this encrypted string contains the wallet seed phrase solflarexpass – a key used to decrypt the vault <-- the "backdoor master key" Because the decryption key is stored locally alongside the encrypted vault, the user's wallet password is not required to decrypt the vault and gain access to the wallet's seed phrase. All that is required to decrypt the wallet and gain access to the seed phrase is access to the Chrome extension storage and extraction of the solflarexpass key -- something very easy for a malicious actor or stealer malware to do. Once the vault is extracted with the key, the seed phrase can be recovered. No password cracking required. Example Storage Layout Inside the Chrome Solflare extension storage database the relevant entries appear similar to: solflaredata: { "data":{ "digest":"sha256", "encoding":"base64", "encrypted64":"..." } } solflarexpass: "<stored key>" Using the key stored in solflarexpass, the encrypted vault (solflaredata) can be decrypted. A screenshot of the original report is attached below. [image: 1773412854934-c25dc614-d139-4de7-9c3b-da142cb773bb-image.png]
