๐ Critical flaw found in BTC hardware wallets! ๐ท Per Protos, the vulnerability lies in the popular Chinese ESP32 chip, used in a ton of hardware wallets, including Blockstream's Jade. ๐ท๐ท The exploit allows attackers to hijack the moduleโs update process, gaining full control over the wallet. ๐ท Billions of IoT devices are now at risk, not just wallets. This chip is in everything from sensors to Wi-Fi modules. ๐ท White-hat hackers already tested it, stealing a private key from a wallet holding 10 BTC. #Bitcoin #Crypto #Cybersecurity
