hello, world. It’s about time.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED IN CRYPTO IN THE LAST 4 DAYS — IN ORDER: → An account called @XRP is created, October 15, 2026 → Its bio says it's run by Ripple and the XRPL Foundation — not a fan page → It stays silent for 4 days — verified, 10,000+ followers, zero posts → 16:08 UTC, October 19 — the first post drops: "hello, world. It's about time." → 6 minutes later, Ripple itself SHOWS UP: "Good to see you here, @XRP." The company that built on the XRP Ledger for over a decade just welcomed XRP's own voice in public. Not a parody account. Not a random teaser. @XRP posted two lines and a 12-second logo — and the whole XRP Army waited. That's the sequence. And the list in that bio tells you everything about what this launch is actually about: → The company behind RLUSD and this week's bank deals → The foundation that backs the XRP Ledger itself → The token both of them now speak for — 8 days before 1,500 leaders hit Swell This isn't just a new account. It's a countdown in real time — and it started 8 days before Swell because XRP wasn't done talking. It's about time. Nobody sleeps. This is only the beginning of the countdown. Many will regret not following me.

⚪ Estremecedor. Salió a la luz el último sermón del sacerdote Patricio Sánchez minutos antes de morir aplastado por un cristo de madera en Guayaquil. En un tono casi premonitorio, el párroco reflexionó: "todos vamos a morir", mientras cuestionaba el tiempo que malgastamos en cosas vanas.

how did Bybit not realize they getting hacked... does this answer the question?

Blind signing should be a thing of the past, and we’ve been leading the charge to make that a reality. In the specific case of the Bybit blind signing hack, the third-party software Bybit was using didn’t support Clear Signing. This left users in a position where they had to approve transactions without seeing the full details on their Ledger device. For clarity, blind signing is when a user signs a transaction without being able to verify all the details (like recipient, amount, or contract interactions) on a secure screen, making it vulnerable to malicious exploits. Clear signing, on the other hand, ensures that all transaction details are visible and verifiable on your Ledger device’s tamper-proof screen before approval. That’s why Ledger Live enforces clear signing by default. The problem is that for transactions outside of Ledger Live, third-party platforms—such as exchanges, wallets, and dApps—must also adopt Clear Signing standards. If they don’t, users are left with no choice but to blind sign, which opens the door to phishing and malicious contract exploits. It’s important to note that hardware wallets like Ledger are specifically designed to protect against these kinds of attacks. Your laptop or smartphone cannot be trusted in these scenarios; only your hardware device can ensure your security. But this protection is only effective if Clear Signing is used—without it, the security provided by your Ledger device is essentially limited. This is why we are driving a Clear Signing initiative. We're working directly with wallets, dApps, and blockchain developers to eliminate blind signing across the ecosystem. We need the entire community to join us in pushing for Clear Signing adoption—so incidents like the Bybit hack are history. We strongly encourage users to avoid blind signing and only approve transactions that are fully visible on your Ledger device. Join us in pushing for universal clear signing to make the crypto space safer for everyone. For more information on our clear signing initiative, visit: shop.ledger.com/pages/clear-…

My Ledger hardware wallet was bought from the @Ledger official website half a year ago . Just checked and my 683 stETH still there. Hope mine is safe.

Was there any action taken?

@RIPPLEEFFECT55 We understand how serious and distressing this is, especially with such a significant loss. Please DM us with the transaction ID and details of what happened so we can help investigate the unauthorized transfers and guide you on the next steps.

There is no indication that devices purchased on Ledger.com have been tampered with. As threats evolve, we’re strengthening our anti-tampering processes and working closely with our official resellers to ensure these measures are consistently applied. Wherever you bought your device, you can inspect it by following this tutorial: support.ledger.com/article/4…, or contact Ledger Customer Service through our official channels. Always remember: Ledger will never call you, DM you, or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. If someone does, it’s a scam. Stay cautious and Clear Sign transactions whenever possible.

@RIPPLEEFFECT55 RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE SIR . I CAN HELP RECOVER BACK YOUR STOLEN ASSEST .

Ledger global supply chain infected by hackers draining user wallets ⚠️ x.com/i/broadcasts/1jGXgBqro…

I WARNED YOU! These are popping up globally. I won’t rule out they haven’t compromised the official ledger supply chain.

This is beyond fucked up... Ledger has confirmed finding an unauthorized hardware implant inside one customer’s cryptocurrency wallet during its October 10 investigation into reported thefts involving Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis, as blockchain researchers estimate suspected losses exceeding $86 million. Ledger confirms hidden chip in crypto wallet amid $92M theft claims crypto.news/ledger-confirms-… #CryptoTheft #CryptoWallet #Ledger

WARNING ⚠️ GET FUNDS OFF LEDGER ASAP ⚠️ I suspect an entire global sleeper operation is ready to drain on their switch. If you think these hackers just cracked one single ledger reseller you’re beyond delusional. They would have had runners loading these things across the world. Getting them in wherever they can. Even possible insider employees swapping out legitimate Ledger devices sold at real stores. There is simply no way to tell how big this is. No way to know how far they went or how long they’ve been doing this… You could be using an infected device. Consider ledger compromised. Don’t risk it. 🚨Get funds out now🚨 Warn others.

This is the best news for XRP !! The next 3 days could change so many peoples lives forever #xrpcrypto #xrpripple #XRP

Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses. Reach out to Ledger customer support through official channels with any questions: support.ledger.com/
