TREE NEWS update: MediaMarktSaturn has withdrawn Ledger hardware wallet products from sale across all its countries, the retailer said, following reports of tampering. Ledger said no fund losses were reported in the German case and directed existing buyers to its support channels. The withdrawal covers every market in which the retailer operates.
MediaMarktSaturn Pulls Ledger Products Over Tampering Reports
A major European electronics retailer pulling Ledger devices across all its markets is a distribution-level problem, not a technical one: it removes a mainstream physical purchase channel for self-custody hardware just as reports of tampering surface. The distinction Ledger draws — no fund losses reported — addresses the outcome, not the trust question, since tampering concerns the supply chain rather than the device's cryptography. The open question is whether other retailers follow MediaMarktSaturn's lead, and how Ledger reassures buyers about units already sold.
