Ledger update omits MediaMarkt as users report tampered devices in Europe

  • —Ledger's October 13 update named only reseller CryptoBilis
  • —Users reported implants in devices from MediaMarkt, with supply traced to distributor Aqipa
  • —The implant reads the seed phrase from the screen and sends 24 words over cellular
  • —One trader reportedly lost $6.6 million in Bitcoin after buying from the reseller
Why it matters: A confirmed case in Europe would turn a single-reseller scandal into a product recall and further erode trust in hardware wallets.
