TREE NEWS update: Ledger said all confirmed cases linked to the October 9 theft incident involve devices sold through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis, adding that the number of affected devices is limited and its own systems and direct sales channels were not compromised. The hardware wallet maker said it is working with law enforcement and contacting affected users, while CryptoBilis has confirmed it has stopped selling all hardware wallets.
Ledger: All Confirmed Theft Cases Tied to CryptoBilis Reseller
The attribution to a single reseller narrows the exposure to a supply-chain issue rather than a compromise of Ledger's own systems, which matters for how the incident is contained but also for how much confidence retail buyers place in third-party distribution channels. The reseller's halt on hardware wallet sales removes an active vector, but the open question is whether the affected batch size stays limited to CryptoBilis or whether other resellers carry devices from the same source. Whether law enforcement engagement yields a fuller picture of how tampering occurred is worth watching.
