TREE NEWS update: Ledger is investigating user fund losses linked to Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis, the hardware wallet maker warned. Separately, researchers estimate between $72 million and $86 million in suspected crypto thefts connected to the matter. Ledger advised users to review their exposure and flagged the reseller as the focus of the probe.
Ledger Probes Losses Tied to Southeast Asian Reseller CryptoBilis
The significance here is that the concern attaches to a reseller channel rather than the wallet hardware itself, which is the part of the supply chain users typically trust least and can least verify. The researchers' loss range is an estimate, not a confirmed figure, so the gap between suspected thefts and Ledger's own findings is the real story. Whether the probe traces losses to the reseller's handling of devices or to something else, and whether other resellers face similar scrutiny, is the open question.
