Here's a sentence that should stop anyone with a hardware wallet in their tracks: as of this week, typing "Ledger Wallet" into Google doesn't reliably take you to Ledger. Instead, the top result in some searches is a paid, sponsored ad labeled "Ledger Official" that leads straight to a phishing page, hosted, ironically, in a way that borrows Google's own cre…
Six weeks ago, Robinhood Chain didn't have a stablecoin ecosystem worth mentioning. Now it has three competing for dominance, and the combined total has blown past $650 million, a scale most Layer 2 networks take years to reach, not weeks.

I've spent the last few years telling friends and family the same thing: switch to passkeys, they can't be phished. That advice wasn't wrong exactly, but reading through this new research left me a little humbled. Three separate teams just showed that you don't need to break FIDO2's cryptography to beat it.
