MediaMarktSaturn (the parent company of MediaMarkt) has removed or suspended sales of Ledger products in stores and online across several European countries where it operates as a precautionary measure. An official investigation is underway into a German customer’s report of a tampered device; Ledger says no funds have been reported lost in that case so far. Confirmed losses are mainly linked to devices sold through Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis. If you’re new to hardware wallets: buy only from official stores or manufacturer-authorized retailers, inspect the device when unboxing, and never enter your recovery phrase on a suspicious device.
