TREE NEWS update: Ledger co-founder Thomas Karpelès said a Ledger Flex wallet bought at an airport contained a spy implant, with buyer Ben Yorke identifying the retailer as Metapod. Ledger said verified fund losses in its investigation remain tied to wallets sold by CryptoBilis.
Karpelès Says Airport-Bought Ledger Flex Contained Spy Implant
This matters less as a new vulnerability than as a supply-chain story: the claim concerns a hardware wallet bought through an airport retailer, while Ledger's confirmed losses trace back to a different reseller. That gap is the real signal — the risk surface here is distribution and resale channels, not the device architecture itself. The open question is whether Ledger's investigation expands beyond CryptoBilis-linked units, and how much scrutiny third-party and travel-retail sellers now attract.
