Ledger confirms unauthorized hardware implant in affected user’s device

TREE NEWS update: Ledger Support said on X that it has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant inside one affected user’s device, and is contacting that user while investigating with law enforcement and SEAL 911. Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis has halted sales of all hardware wallet inventory until the probe concludes. Ledger said there is no indication its security infrastructure, systems or services were compromised, and told users who bought devices from the reseller not to initialize them. Analysts previously estimated losses tied to CryptoBilis users at over $86 million.
