#LedgerConfirmsUnauthorizedHardwareImplantInUserDevice
đš LEDGER CONFIRMS A HARDWARE IMPLANT INSIDE AN AFFECTED CRYPTO WALLET.
A hardware wallet designed to protect crypto has been found with an unauthorized physical component inside it.
Ledger confirmed that one affected user's device contained a hardware implant as the company investigates reports of stolen funds linked to devices purchased through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis.
đ° Independent on-chain investigators estimate that suspected losses exceed $86 million, although the total remains unconfirmed.
â ïž Ledger says its own systems have not been compromised. The investigation is ongoing, and the exact connection between the implant and the reported thefts has not been fully established.
Ledger has advised recent CryptoBilis customers not to set up unused devices. Those who have already initialized them should consider moving their assets to a new signer with a fresh recovery phrase.
This incident highlights a critical risk: crypto security depends not only on software, but also on the integrity of the physical device.
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone.
