TREE NEWS reports: Ledger has asked reseller CryptoBilis to pause sales and urged recent buyers not to set up their devices, after an onchain investigator tracked more than $86 million in suspected thefts. The hardware wallet maker is probing the potential theft of $87 million in user funds tied to the reseller. No further details were disclosed.
Ledger Probes Suspected $87M Theft Involving Wallet Reseller CryptoBilis
The significance here is the supply-chain angle: the exposure runs through a reseller, not the device maker's own firmware or platform, which puts the trustworthiness of third-party distribution channels under scrutiny. Recent buyers of devices from that reseller face the most immediate uncertainty, since the warning stops short of explaining the mechanism. Whether the suspected losses are confirmed as tied to tampered hardware, and how Ledger tightens oversight of authorized resellers, is the open question worth watching.
