[[File:Ledger.jpg|thumb|Ledger]]Details are limited, but it appears that a user was tricked during the Ledger upgrade process into doing an action which compromised their wallet.

While the user insists they did not enter their seed phrase, they may have been tricked into running a malicious transaction that gave the attacker access to the fund in their wallet.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

== About Ledger ==
"Based in France, Ledger is the largest cryptocurrency hardware wallet company." "Ledger is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet that is used to store, manage, and sell cryptocurrency. The funds held in these wallets are secured using a 24-word recovery phrase and an optional secret passphrase that only the owner knows."

"Ledger offers two products, the Nano S and Nano X, that can store the digital keys used to secure crypto wallets. The devices can be used with a variety of cryptocurrencies, are compatible with numerous apps, and are supposed to offer a safe way to manage crypto without compromising too much on convenience. Ledger says on its website that it has sold 1.5 million products to customers in 165 countries to date."

"I am get Ledger Live 2.10.0 and install. After login and see new firmware 1.6.1 make upgrade. Ledger is upgarded ok. After install new app in Ledger and see outbound transaction, but i am not make it transaction, sure!!!! I am not crazy!!!! You can help me? what happened?"

"I am open Ledger Live (without connect Ledger) and see that have new Ledger Live 2.10.0 update. Click upgrade. Install it."

"Open new Ledger Live 2.10.0, Manager mode and connect Ledger see message NEW Firrmware 1.6.1 click update Firmware. Ledger Live download firmware. Get message about 24 word, what you need to know 24 words. Confirm it. After get message with code ID message 1-4 on Live Ledger in on Ledger, check it and confirm." "I am not enter 24 words!!!"

"After start firmware upgrade Ledger, Boot and firmware."

"After reboot Ledger enter PIN. Ledger Live inform me about reinstall App on Ledger. Confirm it. App download and install."

"See Outboard transaction in ETH."

"I am not open App ETH on Ledger and not make confirm it. SURE!!!"

"[T]here are 4 transactions made to the address to the same adress, if you look at the other adresses all 4 have transactions from Ethermine (0xEA674fdDe714fd979de3EdF0F56AA9716B898ec8) in their previous transactions." "I do not think it is linked to the ledger device, but possibly to some malicious software you have installed is possibly the problem."

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

Include:

* Known history of when and how the service was started.
* What problems does the company or service claim to solve?
* What marketing materials were used by the firm or business?
* Audits performed, and excerpts that may have been included.
* Business registration documents shown (fake or legitimate).
* How were people recruited to participate?
* Public warnings and announcements prior to the event.

Don't Include:

* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== What Happened ==
The specific events of the loss and how it came about. What actually happened to cause the loss and some of the events leading up to it.
