Ledger\u2019s white-hat security team said it found a flaw in MediaTek’s secure boot chain that can be used to steal sensitive information from certain Android devices.<\/p>\n

Mobile phone chipmaker MediaTek patched a vulnerability affecting its chipsets in January that could have allowed an attacker to steal crypto seed phrases on affected devices using just a USB cable and the right software.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flaw was discovered by Ledger\u2019s white-hat security team, Donjon, who had shared the vulnerability with MediaTek before a patch was rolled out on Jan. 5, though users who have not installed the latest security patches are advised to do so, said Ledger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Ledger, the flaw came from MediaTek\u2019s secure boot chain, a security mechanism built into its chips that ensures a phone starts safely and only with authorized software during startup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
