Ledger investigates a suspected incident involving more than US$86 million in cryptocurrency losses, affecting three blockchains

CryptoBilis sales suspension, and Ledger warns customers not to set up devices.

Security researchers are investigating possible wallet tampering, but the specific reasons remain unclear. Ledger has launched an investigation into alleged cryptocurrency theft involving customers who purchased hardware wallets from Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis. The survey was based on reports of more than $86 million in potential losses on multiple blockchain networks.

Ledger is investigating the financial loss of users in Southeast Asia who purchased products from a dealer called CryptoBilis. As a precautionary measure, and while awaiting the results of the investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments of all Ledger equipment... --Ledger Support Team (@Ledger_Support) October 9, 2026

Ledger calls for a suspension of sales and shipments

On October 9, the company requested a temporary suspension of sales and shipments of equipment so that the incident can be investigated. However, Ledger has not yet confirmed the amount of the reported loss or its root cause.

Investigation led to the suspension of sales of CryptoBilis

Ledger identified CryptoBilis as a dealer related to customer complaints in Southeast Asia. The company operates as an authorized Ledger dealer in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. As a result, the hardware wallet maker asked CryptoBilis to suspend product sales and delivery while it is investigating.

在 10 月 9 日的声明中,Ledger 建议在过去 90 天内购买设备的客户暂缓设置。已经使用这些设备的客户应考虑将资产转移到拥有全新助记词的新 Ledger 签名设备上。公司表示,随着调查人员对报告的损失情况进行核查,将提供进一步更新。

引发关于设备篡改的疑问

Ledger 钱包调查还引发了关于设备在交付前可能被篡改的质疑。然而,公司尚未确定是假冒硬件、改装设备还是其他安全问题导致了此次事件。

调查紧随 8600 万美元盗窃估算之后

链上研究员 tanuki42 最初追踪到超过 7200 万美元流向与涉嫌加密货币盗窃相关的地址。另一位研究者 Specter 随后估计,在比特币、以太坊和波场网络上的损失超过 8600 万美元。这两个数字均未经独立证实,受影响客户的数量也未知。

与此同时,币安联合创始人赵长鹏(Changpeng Zhao)指出,涉及单一供应商的供应链攻击可能解释了这些事件。前 Mt. Gox CEO 马克·卡佩莱斯(Mark Karpeles)也对潜在的硬件修改表示担忧。卡佩莱斯建议检查设备电路板以寻找篡改证据。

The Ledger Wallet Survey highlights the risks in hardware distribution and cryptocurrency self-custody. Hardware wallets often protect them by keeping private keys offline, reducing the risk of online attacks. However, damaged devices can leak sensitive recovery information before customers start using wallets. Ledger has not confirmed a security breach in its broader product range.
