The issue was identified at 9:50 am however, by that time already over 200 ETH was sent to a ‘random’ address (0xc33b16198dd9fb3bb342d8119694f94adfcdca23) by Ledger Nano customers.

Ledger then announced that it does not have access to this account and that it was a bug/glitch which caused the problem. Therefore, the funds sent to this address are lost and cannot be recovered, however Ledger decided to do a refund to anyone who send funds there. In total over 280 ETH and $15k worth of tokens were sent to this address before the bug was fixed.

Below you can see what the AML Risk Report related to the address looked like before it was reported to us through the AMLT Network. Further below you can see what it looks like afterwards.

The Coinfirm Platform and AMLT Network continues to be adopted by more entities and available to more of their users, with that the ability to help limit the amount of losses incurred by such bugs improves and further prevents users and companies from taking on potential risk.If you’re interested in partnering with Coinfirm or become a AMLT Network Member then contact us!
