Ledger Probes $86M Wallet Theft Tied to Southeast Asian Reseller
• About $86-87M reportedly drained from hundreds of wallets across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron
• Devices were sold via reseller CryptoBilis; Ledger asked it to halt sales and told buyers not to activate new units
• Cause unconfirmed; a pre-tampered supply-chain attack is the leading suspicion
• Tether has begun freezing related USDT, per MistTrack
This hurts hardware-wallet trust until the cause is confirmed, so buy only from official channels. Not financial advice, DYOR.
