Here is what the page “Ledger Supply Chain Attack Hits EU Retailer, AI Uncovers $94B XRP Bug” contains. A Ledger hardware wallet bought from a major European retailer was found to have been tampered with, signaling a worrying expansion of supply chain attacks beyond direct online purchases. The incident highlights the growing sophistication of attackers targeting cryptocurrency storage devices, even through trusted physical stores. Meanwhile, security researchers leveraging artificial intelligence discovered a critical vulnerability in the XRP Ledger that could have allowed the creation of 18 trillion XRP—worth approximately $94 billion at the time.
The bug, if exploited, would have massively inflated the token supply and undermined the network's integrity. Despite the severity, the researchers received only a $250,000 bounty, raising questions about whether bug bounty programs adequately reward discoveries that prevent catastrophic losses. These events underscore the dual challenges facing the crypto industry: securing both the physical devices that store assets and the underlying blockchain code. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
