Ledger Freezes Reseller Shipments Over $86M Tampering Alert 🚨🛡️
Hardware wallet maker Ledger has ordered Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis to freeze all device sales and shipments across Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines after reports of widespread wallet drains. 📦🛑
Anyone who purchased a Ledger device from this distributor in the last 90 days must take two urgent actions:
🔹 Do not set up the hardware if still unboxed.
🔹 Move all assets immediately to a fresh secure wallet if already running.
On-chain investigators estimate total drained assets have topped $86M across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON. 💸⚠️ Analysts suspect compromised batches carried micro-implants designed to intercept the 24-word recovery phrase during setup, even while passing standard genuine device checks. 🔍📡
Ledger confirmed its internal software and server infrastructure remain untouched, isolating the threat to this retail pipeline. 🔒🏢
