#ledger要求东南亚及香港经销商暂停销售

Ledger makes a big move!
Distributors in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong suspend sales
Can cold wallets still be trusted?
Guys,
Hardware wallet giant Ledger is adjusting its Asia-Pacific distribution policy,
requiring some distributors in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to suspend sales.
Now that this news is out,
we have to ask:
Is this just a routine channel cleanup,
or is there regulatory pressure behind it?
What does the crypto world fear most?
It’s not a 50% market crash,
it’s security issues.
This recent Ledger incident
has left many cold wallet users feeling uneasy.
Ledger has asked distributors in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong
to suspend sales of hardware wallets
and cooperate with the investigation into a security incident involving its devices.
It began when some users found that their Ledger devices were behaving abnormally.
Ledger confirmed that one affected device contained an unauthorized hardware implant.
So far, all devices confirmed to be affected have been linked to Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis.
Ledger says its internal systems and official direct sales channels have not been affected.
Put simply,
this wasn’t a hacker attack—
the supply chain was targeted.
And just like that,
the hardware device you bought
could have been tampered with somewhere along the way.
Just thinking about it gives you the chills.
Trust is the biggest selling point of a cold wallet.
Now that trust is in question.
What a mess.
In the short term, this is good news for other hardware wallet brands.
It doesn’t really affect Bitcoin or anything like that.
Just remember, guys:
be extra careful when buying a cold wallet from now on.
Buying only from major platforms is the way to go.
