The Incident: Around $86M–$92.9M in crypto has been stolen (affecting BTC, ETH, TRON, BSC, POL) due to a security breach/tampering involving CryptoBilis, Ledger's authorized reseller in Southeast Asia.
Ledger's Response: Sales and shipments of CryptoBilis devices are suspended. Users who bought a new device in the last 90 days are advised NOT to set it up.
