🚨 Android is under attack again: a vulnerability in MediaTek chips could cost you your crypto!

Experts from the cybersecurity division of Ledger have uncovered such a security hole in Android that it makes your hair stand on end. And it's not about some nonsense — the problem concerns the boot ROM in the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip (also known as MT6878). Yes, the very one that is found in a bunch of smartphones, including the new Solana Seeker. 📱⚠️

💥 The vulnerability is within the hardware itself. It cannot be patched, healed, or closed with an update. If an attacker decides to dig in, there is no way to protect the smartphone's private keys.

Ledger unequivocally states:

"It is simply impossible to securely store and use private keys on these devices."

And it sounds like a death sentence. For crypto, and for the nerves of MediaTek phone owners.

But here's what’s more interesting — MediaTek did not remain silent. They brushed it off in a style of "guys, don’t dramatize." As if to say, the chip is a regular consumer product, and it is not required to withstand attacks at the level of intelligence agencies with electromagnetic interference.

Well, yes, there is some logic… But such responses do little to reassure crypto investors, especially when it comes to private keys, which, as we know, can be lost in an instant 😬💸
