The official marketing manager of the <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-shib-price-eyes-bullish-move-with-epic-twist-top-analyst" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu</a> team, who refers to herself merely as Lucie, has written on the Twitter/X social media network that SHIB is announcing a major giveaway, offering SHIB and BAD-branded cold wallets to the SHIB army.
In her tweet, Lucie dropped a hint about the recent Ledger hack; it was transparent enough, though.

Lucie tweeted that the team of the prominent canine-themed cryptocurrency has 10 Shiba Inu and 10 BAD-branded crypto wallets produced by Switzerland-based company Tangem. Bad Idea AI (BAD) is a partner of Shiba Inu focused on the integration of artificial intelligence into the cryptocurrency space.
The wallets will be given away to community members on Dec. 20 during <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inus-shytoshi-kusama-teases-major-game-changing-announcement" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shibarium</a> Christmas Giveaway spaces scheduled for that day.

Lucie added, “I think it's time for some of you to think about the ‘famous hardware wallet you use,’ ” hinting that after the Ledger hack on Thursday, she believes this popular cryptocurrency wallet not to be so reliable.

An influential account in the XRP community, <a href="https://twitter.com/XRPcryptowolf/status/1735401412329357774" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@XRPcryptowolf, took to Twitter/X</a> to express his disappointment with the Ledger wallet for causing “so many trust issues” in the cryptocurrency industry.
On Thursday, Ledger Connect Kit was exploited by hackers. It led to multiple DeFi apps based on Ethereum, such as Zapper, SushiSwap, Phantom, Balancer and others, to be compromised. The exact number of applications that suffered from this attack, or how much crypto was stolen, is yet to be seen and counted.
However, many of those DeFi apps contained XRP, among other cryptocurrencies, hence the reaction of the XRP community. This is not the first time Ledger has sparked a wave of criticism from the cryptocurrency community. In May, the company announced a controversial update that <a href="https://u.today/ledger-introduces-controversial-function-as-it-might-cause-security-risks" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">could cause major security issues</a>, as many experts believed. Ultimately, Ledger called the update off. This time, some users began calling for a boycott against Ledger, and Trezor as well.
As for yesterday’s hack, Ledger tweeted that it had already identified and removed a malicious version of the Ledger Connect Kit. They added that users’ Ledger and Ledger Live hardware wallets were not compromised.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 🚨We have identified and removed a malicious version of the Ledger Connect Kit. 🚨A genuine version is being pushed to replace the malicious file now. Do not interact with any dApps for the moment. We will keep you informed as the situation evolves. Your Ledger device and…— Ledger (@Ledger) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ledger/status/1735291427100455293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">December 14, 2023</a>
