15-year-old hacks USB cryptocurrency wallet













Saleem Rashid, a 15-year-old British teenager, hacked into US-based company Ledger’s USB cryptocurrency wallet. The bugs allowed Rashid to compromise the device before it was shipped to the customer as well as steal private keys after the device was initialised. Prior to the disclosure of the vulnerability, Ledger had said the hack required a set of “incredibly unlikely conditions.”
