Según BleepingComputer, Ledger has confirmed that some of its devices distributed through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis were compromised with a hardware implant that drained users' cryptocurrency wallets. Según BleepingComputer, Ledger recommends users who purchased a Ledger device from this reseller to not initiate set up if they have not yet done so.
Según BleepingComputer, Ledger has been investigating reports of users losing funds from wallets purchased through CryptoBilis, a major Malaysia-based hardware wallet retailer operating across Southeast Asia. Según BleepingComputer, Ledger said it had launched an investigation into user reports of cryptocurrency losses and asked CryptoBilis to stop selling and shipping Ledger devices. Según BleepingComputer, Ledger can confirm that one of the impacted users’ devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant.
Por lo tanto, Ledger alertó que su autenticación no detecta estos implantes si el elemento de seguridad original permanece intacto. La empresa recomienda a los distribuidores evitar la reposición de productos devueltos y a los usuarios verificar la procedencia de sus dispositivos.
