Massive exploit on ledger's NPM account

then he's a moron. when pavinder codes his shitty web app, he calls a function in the npm package. the npm package cannot magically access app storage and retrieve your seed, it can only pass incorrect data back to the function call.

Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are also affected. If you make transactions with your hw wallet triple check the recipient address character by character. The malware will change that address to something that looks very similar to the address you're sending to. In a browser window it will make this change in the background in a way the user won't see a thing. Do not trust any address that's on a webpage, only trust addresses that are shown in the screen of your hardware wallet. Best not to make any transactions.

Crypto was a mistake. Decentralization and lack of central authority gives criminals too much power. Satoshi solved one problem but created a bunch of new ones.

the attack would generate an address for each transaction that visually similar to the actual destination

i think its impossible to tell how much was stolen currently

With this mindset you'll lose your crypto one day. Sure, if you're 100% certain your wallet doesn't use these packages it's safe. Even if it does use them it's unlikely there was an update pushed during the few hours when the packages were hacked. It's better to be paranoid.
>>
Bump
>>
>>60914336
npm is like a library with pieces of code that web developers use so they don't have to rewrite stuff all the time. most websites you visit are probably using a bunch of npm packages.
someone pushed an update to some popular npm packages that makes it so when you send a transaction the adress that is shown on the computer screen is not the same that the crypto is actually sent to.
this has nothing to do with ledger specifially i think, any hardware wallet or software wallet could be vulnarable.
to be safe, don't send anything right now, even if the chance of something happening to you is very low i think.

Back when software was made by white people, each software had to manage its own library versions and build system. Makefiles were pretty much the standard, and they were straight up awful. CMake made things a bit easier, but build systems were generally brittle and all over the place.

Then came along Python, perhaps the worst language ever made. Billions of brown people all over the world marveled at the ingenuity of typing pip install solution and then 'import solution'. No thoughts required. Ironically, it probably made building actual software even MORE complicated as in many instances compilation was required to build dependencies, or dependencies of dependencies... or dependencies of dependencies of dependencies. The alternative was to rely on pre-packaged wheels for very specific versions of certain drivers and sub-dependencies- and you can't use multiple versions of a dependency at the same time. If there are version conflicts between dependencies you are pretty much fucked. Instead of having one build system to maintain, you now had many CMake, Makefile etc. build systems being run by the Python build system to build the exponentially growing dependencies that run your shitty unmaintainable Python scripts. I am not exaggerating when I say Python may have set machine learning back at least a decade.

Then came along NPM. Or maybe NPM came first, it doesn't matter. NPM had a library for checking if a number is even. It has over a million downloads; even worse, it also has a library for checking if a number is odd... which also has over a million downloads. It has the exact same problems as PyPi (Python package manager).

Then it was pretty much a requirement for language toolchains to have some kind of package system, most of which suck The Rust toolchain is pretty good, but that's only because the ecosystem insists on having a 'pure Rust' version for pretty much everything.

Trezor has been 'hacked' a grand total of 0 times. There were maybe a handful of CVEs within the span of a decade, with only about 3-4 being 'critical'. None of the CVEs were exploited in the wild.

>>
>>60915030
it doesn't work that way. the npm package is loaded into the browser window when the user accesses a dapp, it's not part of the wallet software. it cannot access extension storage where the encrypted seed is, and it can't modify the wallet. dapps work by encoding transaction requests and giving the calldata to the wallet for signing. this malicious package modifies the calldata and sends this to the wallet. so if you bother to check the transaction details, you will see the attacker's address as the recipient instead of the smart contract you're trying to interact with.

if an attacker has root access to your machine, you're right that they can only see the encrypted seed and password hash, so you have some slim protection. but in that scenario, chances are very good that you will unknowingly enter your password before you realize you've been compromised. it's a good protection against the wallet itself getting compromised, since an attacker cannot just immediately steal the seed after altering the software, they still need you to enter the password. keep in mind that they can still crack your password using the hash, if it is weak

Do you/does anyone know when the exploit started? I sent a large transaction on Friday to a new cold wallet, now I'm feeling paranoid...
>>
>>60915301
the passphrase has nothing to do with the seed, its for maintaining security on a device you've already loaded your seed into

once they have your seed or your pkey(for a specific address), its over

>the future of finance

>>
>>60915456
it started today. furthermore its a compromise of web based frontends. so for instance if you open up metamask extension and send something to another wallet its fine. but if you go to the uniswap website and try to swap, there's potential for the tx to be replaced.

so far it seems like a nothingburger, havent seen a single report of people losing money to this particular attack yet

What about Ledger Live?

>>60915473
Total amount lost is in low three digits. Most of those are probably just donations to the hacker out of pity. I don't think there was any big updates where the affected packages were used and if there was they're probably fixed already.

Update on the NPM attack: The attack fortunately failed, with almost no victims.

It began with a phishing email from a fake npm support domain that stole credentials and gave attackers access to publish malicious package updates. The injected code targeted web crypto activity, hooking into Ethereum, Solana and other chains to hijack transactions, and replacing wallet addresses directly in network responses.

The attackers’ mistakes caused crashes in CI/CD pipelines, which led to early detection and limited impact. Still, this is a clear reminder: if your funds sit in a software wallet or on an exchange, you’re one code execution away from losing everything. Supply chain compromises remain a powerful malware delivery vector, and we’re also seeing more targeted attacks emerge.

Hardware wallets are built to withstand these threats. Features like Clear Signing let you confirm exactly what’s happening, and Transaction Checks flag suspicious activity before it’s too late.

The immediate danger may have passed, but the threat hasn’t. Stay safe.
