🚨 URGENT CRYPTO SECURITY ALERT 🚨

Own crypto and hold coins on a Ledger custody device?

You need to read this immediately.

A major supply chain attack is currently underway that's affecting the entire JavaScript ecosystem. A prominent npm maintainer's account was compromised, pushing malicious updates to widely-used libraries like chalk, strip-ansi, and debug - packages downloaded BILLIONS of times weekly.

⚠️ What makes this particularly dangerous:

• The malware acts as a "crypto-clipper" - silently replacing wallet addresses during transactions
• Funds get diverted to attackers without users noticing until it's too late
• Even Ledger executives are warning users to pause ALL blockchain transactions

🛡️ Immediate action steps:

✅ Audit and pin your dependencies to last known-safe versions
✅ Always verify transaction addresses directly on your hardware wallet
✅ Consider pausing crypto transactions until the situation stabilizes
✅ Enable 2FA on all your accounts

This isn't just another hack - it's a large-scale attack targeting the foundational infrastructure that powers thousands of apps and services worldwide.
