TREE NEWS reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost said more than 20 Ledger resellers, including some Lazada merchants, may carry potential risk after a hardware wallet security incident involving reseller CryptoBilis. Ledger has confirmed unauthorized hardware tampering in one affected user’s device and that an investigation into CryptoBilis is ongoing, but it remains unclear whether CryptoBilis is the only compromised channel. Darkfost said the full scope is still hard to determine and that regional links between resellers mean simultaneous supply-chain compromise cannot be ruled out.
Ledger Reseller Risk May Extend to 20+ Dealers, Analyst Says
The significance here is less the single tampered device than the channel: an authorized reseller route that users were implicitly told to trust. If regional resellers share sourcing or logistics, the exposure is a supply-chain question, not a one-off incident, and it lands hardest on buyers who purchased through third-party marketplaces rather than directly. The open question is whether Ledger's investigation narrows the compromise to CryptoBilis or finds the same pattern across other dealers.
