10 Oct 2026 7 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.12

Ledger is investigating wallet-drain reports involving CryptoBilis customers in Southeast Asia. The hardware wallets may have been genuine—but the questions surrounding their supply chain are now impossible to ignore. Imagine buying a hardware wallet...

Your Wallet Passed the Security Check. That Was the Trap.

8 Oct 2026 4 minute read 5 comments Cryptosafekit $0.19

Crypto scammers are no longer just pretending to be support agents. Some are pretending to protect you. Imagine you're about to swap some crypto. You find a platform offering a slightly better rate than usual. The website looks professional. Nothing...

The Job Interview Was Fake. The Coding Test Was Malware. 7,000 Crypto Wallets Paid the Price.

23 Sep 2026 6 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.16

A recruiter offers you a Web3 job. The salary looks good. The coding test looks normal. Then your computer—and possibly your crypto wallet—belongs to someone else. Imagine receiving this message: “We saw your GitHub profile and think you'd be a grea...

The Scariest Part of This Trezor Phishing Email Wasn’t the Message. It Was the Sender.

10 Sep 2026 6 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.13

A fake “STM32 Entropy Vulnerability” alert reportedly came through infrastructure associated with Trezor’s real email provider. Days earlier, the company confirmed that nearly 81,000 customers were affected by a separate shipping-data breach. Normall...

I Thought Storing Only 4 Letters of a Seed Word Was a Bad Idea. Then I Read BIP39.

2 Sep 2026 6 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.17

Subtitle:It sounds like cutting corners. For standard English BIP39 recovery phrases, it is actually part of how the wordlist was designed. When I first saw a metal seed backup that stored only four letters of each recovery word, my reaction was imm...

The Ledger Nano X Isn’t New Anymore. That’s Exactly Why It Still Makes Sense.

1 Sep 2026 6 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.14

Subtitle:New touchscreen wallets are more impressive. But for some self-custody users, a small screen, two buttons and Bluetooth may still be exactly enough. The Ledger Nano X has a strange position in 2026. It is no longer the exciting new hardwar...

Round or Grid? Which Metal Seed Backup Would You Trust 10 Years From Now?

28 Aug 2026 2 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.13

I’ve been staring at these two seed backup layouts for too long, so at this point I’m probably biased. Both are built around a similar idea: instead of engraving the full recovery word, you record its BIP39 word index using punch marks. But the layou...

The Scam Looked Like a Google Doc. The Target Was a Security Researcher.

26 Aug 2026 4 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.19

A fake crypto executive, a real Google Doc, and malware waiting behind a “decrypt” button. If professionals are being targeted this way, “I’m too smart for phishing” is not a security strategy. Most crypto scams have a reputation problem. They look...

One Google Search Cost a Crypto User $550,000. The Wallet Wasn’t Hacked.

25 Aug 2026 4 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.21

A fake Hyperliquid ad reportedly drained 550,019 USDC. The uncomfortable lesson is that better key storage cannot fix a bad signing decision. Most crypto scams begin somewhere that already looks suspicious. A random Telegram message. A fake support...

Your Ledger Screen Could Show One Transaction While Another Was Being Signed

24 Aug 2026 2 minute read 0 comments Cryptosafekit $0.15

  The bug is already patched. But the uncomfortable lesson is bigger than the bug itself. One of the main reasons people buy a hardware wallet is simple: “I can see what I’m signing on the device itself.” That little screen is supposed to be the fin...
