Tampered Ledger Wallets Spread Beyond Asia as Losses Near $90 Million

  • —Ledger says all confirmed tampered devices came from Malaysian reseller CryptoBilis
  • —On-chain investigators put losses near $90 million; one buyer lost 80 Bitcoin
  • —Six wallet brands disclosed flaws in 2026, but funds were lost only at Coldcard and Ledger
  • —A Trezor shipping partner leaked data on 13,689 buyers; SafePal exposed nearly 40,000 addresses
Why it matters: Supply-chain compromises in hardware wallets undermine confidence in self-custody and could push users toward custodial services.
