Teenager hacks crypto-currency walletA hardware wallet designed to store crypto-currencies, and touted by its manufacturer as tamper-proof, has been hacked by a British 15-year-old. It would allow a malicious attacker to drain the wallet of funds, he said. Craig Young, a researcher at security firm Tripwire commented: "It is very difficult to thoroughly secure any device from attackers with physical access. "In this particular case, it was discovered that anyone with physical access could modify the Ledger hardware wallet to gain access to funds. In effect, this would mean that someone selling this hardware wallet would be able to steal funds from their customers.
