Thieves steal over 60 BTC worth $4.8M from Ledger wallet addresses linked to task scam

More than 60 Bitcoin, valued at about $4.8 million, were stolen from three Ledger wallet addresses during an October theft. The stolen funds were initially moved into these addresses on September 22 and then emptied in single transfers on October 9, all going to the same wallet. The theft is connected to a task scam that paid people to post fake sales and reviews, later demanding victims add money to cover a negative balance. This incident involves Ledger devices distributed by a Malaysia-based reseller, CryptoBilis, highlighting ongoing security risks in hardware wallet management.

The Ledger theft involving over 60 Bitcoin is notable context for readers.
