Laser Attack Resets Tangem Wallet Passwords on Cards That Can't Be Patched

By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

Ledger's Donjon security team demonstrated a laser fault injection attack against Tangem hardware crypto wallet cards that resets the card's PIN to an attacker-chosen value without knowledge of the original password — and affected cards cannot be patched. An attacker with brief physical access to the card can gain full control of the associated wallet and drain funds.
