Laser Attack Resets Tangem Wallet Passwords on Cards That Can't Be Patched
Researchers at Ledger's Donjon security team demonstrated a laser-based attack that can reset passwords on Tangem cryptocurrency wallet cards by targeting the embedded chip. Once the password is reset, an attacker gains control of the wallet and can transfer the stored cryptocurrency. The attack requires precise timing and physical access to the card hardware.
Why it matters: Tangem wallet card users face a permanent vulnerability that cannot be patched: physical possession of the card is the only defense against an attacker with laser equipment, making hardware-based crypto wallets potentially less secure than previously assumed.
