đš MediaMarktSaturn has stopped selling Ledger wallets â the security investigation is expanding
The European electronics retailer has suspended Ledger sales in stores and online following a report of a suspected hardware implant in Germany
Ledger says no funds have been reported stolen in the German case
But the development raises a bigger question about hardware wallet supply chains
$ZEC
đ The earlier CryptoBilis investigation in Southeast Asia uncovered devices modified with unauthorized components capable of capturing recovery phrases
On-chain analytics firm Bitquery now estimates $102M drained from 324 wallets across six blockchains
That figure is Bitquery's estimate, not a loss total confirmed by Ledger
And there is still no evidence that every Ledger device or Ledger's core systems have been compromised

đ One detail matters for wallet owners
Passing a genuine-device check doesn't necessarily rule out unauthorized physical modifications
If you bought a device from an affected seller, review Ledger's official security guidance before setting it up or continuing to use it
Never enter your recovery phrase into a website or share it with someone claiming to be support
â ïž The new warning isn't that all cold wallets are unsafe
It's that protecting private keys also depends on trusting the hardware supply chain
