Ledger Freezes Reseller Shipments Over $86M Tampering Alert đšđĄïž
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. đŠđ
Anyone who purchased a Ledger device from this distributor in the last 90 days must take two urgent actions:
đč Do not set up the hardware if still unboxed.
đč 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. đžâ ïž Analysts suspect compromised batches carried micro-implants designed to intercept the 24-word recovery phrase during setup, even while passing standard genuine device checks. đđĄ
Ledger confirmed its internal software and server infrastructure remain untouched, isolating the threat to this retail pipeline. đđą
Do you buy hardware wallets directly from the manufacturer? đ
