Ledger probes possible wallet tampering after $86 million in crypto reported stolen

  • —Blockchain investigator Specter put potential losses at more than $86 million
  • —Suspected theft addresses were traced across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron
  • —Ledger asked reseller CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments
  • —Customers who bought devices in the last 90 days are told not to activate them
Why it matters: A supply-chain attack would hit trust in hardware wallets, the core tool for self-custody of crypto assets.
