It was touted as the safest hardware wallet, but it ended up falling victim to a distributor. Devices sold by CryptoBilis, Ledger’s official Southeast Asia distributor, were allegedly tampered with. More than a hundred wallets were drained, and on-chain researchers estimate losses of over $86 million. $BTC , $ETH , and $TRX were all affected. Ledger has urgently halted shipments from the distributor. If you bought one of these devices, either don’t turn it on or quickly transfer your crypto to a new seed phrase. Even CZ has spoken out, calling this a supply-chain attack. Here’s the question: You spend thousands on a cold wallet for peace of mind, but now you have to inspect it before even opening the box. Where can retail investors actually keep their assets safely?
