Ledger confirmed unauthorized hardware implants found in devices sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis. Already linked to crypto losses.
Ledger's internal systems weren't breached—this was a supply chain attack. Tampered devices = your seed phrase gets compromised before you even set it up.
The takeaway: NEVER buy hardware wallets from unauthorized resellers or sketchy third parties. Doesn't matter if it's $20 cheaper. Your $BTC isn't worth the risk.
Always buy direct from manufacturer or verified official distributors. Check seals, verify firmware, and assume every device is hostile until proven otherwise.
If you bought from CryptoBilis or any random reseller in SEA, move your funds NOW. Generate new seed on a clean device.
