🚨 LEDGER HALTS HARDWARE WALLET SALES ACROSS 7 ASIAN MARKETS AMID TAMPERING PROBE
A major security warning has hit the crypto industry.
Ledger has asked resellers to suspend sales and remove its hardware wallets from shelves across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hong Kong while it investigates reports of tampered devices.
🔐 What happened?
• Ledger confirmed that malicious hardware implants were found in devices linked to reseller CryptoBilis.
• The implants were designed to capture users' 24-word recovery phrases and transmit them through a cellular connection.
• Ledger says the confirmed incidents remain contained to Southeast Asia, with no indication that its own infrastructure or direct sales channel has been compromised.
• The reported $86 million in crypto losses remains unverified by Ledger.
⚠️ Why it matters: A hardware wallet is only as trustworthy as the device and supply chain behind it. Buying from an unauthorized or compromised reseller can create serious risks, even when the product looks authentic.
Crypto holders should follow Ledger's official security updates and verify their device's source before trusting it with their assets.
