they didn’t hack ledger. they didn’t exploit the code. they BOUGHT the company selling you the device. $86 million gone
a company called CryptoBilis was an authorized ledger reseller in southeast asia. trusted. legit. sold ledgers for years
a random chinese company quietly bought CryptoBilis from its malaysian owner
made the original owner sign a confidentiality agreement. he couldn’t tell anyone the company was sold
same brand name. same website. same “authorized reseller” badge. but different people behind it now
the new owners started opening every ledger device before shipping
soldered a tiny spy chip onto the board inside. repackaged it. sealed the box. shipped it
the device looked normal. felt normal. worked normal
but the spy chip was silently capturing your private keys the moment you set it up
your seed phrase was sent to the attacker before you even finished writing it down
hundreds of wallets across ethereum tron and bitcoin. all drained
the guy who lost $5.3 million said “i did everything right. no leverage. no memecoins. i stored my funds on a hardware wallet like we’re all told to”
he was right. he did everything right
except his device had a parasite inside it that he couldn’t see
ledger has now told CryptoBilis to stop all sales. told recent buyers NOT to set up their devices
mark karpelès posted photos of the implant. normal board on top. spy chip below
the most dangerous attack in crypto this year wasn’t a line of code
it was a business acquisition

What an incredible year it has been.
A year filled with courage, bold experimentation, late-night builds, campus tours across different regions, hands-on workshops, and countless conversations that slowly but surely strengthened this ecosystem. Every meetup, every class, every community townhall added another layer to what Base Philippines is becoming today.
Last night wasn’t just a celebration. It was a reflection of the builders, students, creators, partners and contributors who showed up again and again — bringing their energy, ideas, and heart into this community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to everyone who poured their passion into this past year. Your contributions, no matter how big or small, shaped every milestone we achieved.
You made all of this happen.
You are what makes Base Philippines.
And, it’s still day one. 💙
