Odaily News: Nasdaq-listed company SkyAI, which centers on a Solana digital asset treasury, previously held more than 2 million SOL. Since October, the company has transferred out approximately 1.57 million SOL, worth about $175 million; SkyAI has disclosed the recent sale of 1 million SOL, amounting to about $107 million, and stated it may continue selling. On-chain data shows its average purchase price was about $194, and based on recent prices, losses exceed $160 million. A Form 8-K filed on October 13 showed that the company's SOL holdings had dropped to about 600,000, a decline of about 70% from the more than 2 million disclosed in mid-September. The timing of the sales, average transaction prices, and approval process had not previously been fully disclosed to shareholders. Bastion Trading, a major shareholder holding about 9.99% of outstanding common stock, said today that it has serious concerns about the cash tender offer announced by SkyAI on October 11, will not participate until those concerns are properly addressed, and demands the immediate full disclosure of details regarding the SOL disposal, the launch of an independent review, a reshuffle of the board of directors, and an increase in the tender offer price from $3.00 per share to at least $3.50 per share. Bastion Trading also pointed out that at the 2026 annual shareholders meeting, all five incumbent directors received far more abstentions than votes in favor, with some ratios approaching three to one, and questioned why the incumbent board, after losing shareholder trust, is still leading the sale of core reserves and advancing the tender offer.

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Bitcoin News released a podcast in which former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès and Foundation CEO Zach Herbert discussed the largest supply chain attack in crypto industry history. Mark Karpelès stated that he discovered the spy implant 3 weeks before the funds were stolen and contacted Ledger, but received no response. The implant had a built-in hidden cellular modem that could directly read the seed phrase on the screen and passed Ledger's own checks; even setting a passphrase could not prevent the seed phrase from being stolen. Mark Karpelès said that with $5 million, he could create an implant that would only be detectable through X-ray. The episode also discussed the hardware wallet reseller model, the Malaysian reseller behind the attack, on-chain tracking of stolen crypto assets, the spread of the attack to Europe, why Trezor was not targeted, hardware wallet security, and multi-party computation solutions. The episode timeline shows that the amount stolen from hardware wallets reached $100 million, with $86 million transferred out within 24 hours.

Odaily News: According to monitoring by Bitcoin News, German Ledger user @jayr_crypto reports receiving another forged letter this week. The letter impersonates Ledger, claiming that new regulations require users to register a Bitcoin wallet through a service called ZenLedger by October 31. The letter uses Ledger's official branding elements, references German financial regulators, and includes a QR code that directs users to a so-called mandatory registration process. The user believes that addresses exposed in a previous data breach are being used to conduct targeted attacks against Ledger users. In the same week, Ledger coordinated with MediaMarktSaturn to suspend sales of its hardware wallets across a European retail network spanning 11 countries and more than 1,000 stores. It was previously reported that Ledger devices purchased from European retailers were found to contain malicious spy implants. Ledger separately confirmed that compromised devices sold by a distributor in Southeast Asia contained implants capable of stealing recovery phrases and transmitting them via cellular networks. Ledger has not yet confirmed that European devices were compromised. Ledger users are currently facing physical supply chain tampering and targeted phishing attacks exploiting home addresses. Do not scan suspicious QR codes or enter recovery phrases.
