TREE NEWS reports: SlowMist founder Yu Xian said on X that one of the CryptoBilis-related cases he is tracking involves a Ledger Flex hardware wallet. Previously, the known affected devices were mainly Ledger Nano X, and he suspects other mainstream Ledger models sold through the reseller CryptoBilis may also have been tampered with.
SlowMist’s Yu Xian: Ledger Flex Possibly Tied to CryptoBilis Tampering Case
The shift from Nano X to Flex matters because the concern is no longer a single model but the reseller channel itself: if tampering happened at CryptoBilis, the device model is incidental, and any Ledger unit passing through that supply chain is exposed. That reframes the risk from a product flaw to a distribution-integrity problem, affecting buyers who assume sealed retail packaging equals a clean device. The open question is whether SlowMist's tracking confirms tampering in the Flex unit and whether other resellers show the same pattern.
