According to Bankless, spyware implants have been identified in some Ledger wallet devices distributed across regions in Asia and Europe. The detection follows reports indicating that more than $86 million has been lost through suspected thefts linked to these compromised devices.
The findings highlight concerns about the supply chain integrity of Ledger products used by cryptocurrency holders. While no official confirmation from Ledger has been provided, observers note that the presence of malicious software in wallet units raises questions about how devices are produced or distributed.
Affected users are advised to verify device authenticity through official channels and avoid downloading unofficial firmware. Bankless reports that investigations are ongoing to determine the scope and method of implantation.
