🚨 Ledger is investigating a series of wallets purchased through Southeast Asian distributors following suspicions of an $86 million loss. If you use a Ledger hardware wallet purchased through a distributor, please read this carefully. On October 9, Ledger announced it is investigating reports of fund losses related to devices sold through CryptoBilis, a distributor in Southeast Asia. Previously, anonymous on-chain investigator Specter suggested that attackers may have drained over $86 million from hundreds of wallets on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks. Ledger has not confirmed this figure or disclosed the cause. CoinDesk raised the possibility of a supply chain attack—meaning attackers may have tampered with devices before they reached customers, such as pre-installing a known recovery seed phrase. This would be like buying a lock while the locksmith keeps a spare key. However, this has not been confirmed. Ledger has requested CryptoBilis suspend sales. The company advises anyone who purchased from this distributor in the past 90 days not to activate their device. Those who have already activated theirs should consider transferring their assets to a new Ledger device with a newly generated recovery seed phrase 😬 Details: https://t.co/kLnlFTJRPt
