Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger confirms that some devices were implanted with illegal hardware devices

Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger recently confirmed that during its investigation into a cryptocurrency loss incident involving equipment purchased from Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis, an affected user's device was found to contain unauthorized hardware implants.

Ledger said in an article posted on X on Sunday that the company is contacting relevant users as part of its ongoing investigation into the loss. Investigator Specter estimates that the total loss of assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and TRON involved in the incident may exceed $86 million.

Ledger calls on individuals who have information related to the investigation to provide clues through their bounty program contact email at www.example.com. bounty@ledger.fr As a precaution, CryptoBilis confirmed in the post that sales of all hardware wallet inventory have been suspended until the investigation is concluded. Currently, Ledger is actively communicating with CryptoBilis on follow-up steps.

Security Recommendations and Background Information

Ledger recommends that users who purchase equipment from this dealer should not start the setup process if they have not yet initialized the setup; if they have completed setup, they should consider transferring assets to a new Ledger signature device (using a new mnemonic).

Previous media reports pointed out that CryptoBilis was once listed as an authorized distributor of Ledger in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. As of now, Ledger has not confirmed the number of customers affected or the specific amount of reported losses.

Ledger emphasized in a statement to the media that the incident appeared to be limited to a single dealer and its market scope. "Ledger's infrastructure, systems and services have not been compromised." The company added that the investigation was still ongoing.
