Ledger Nano X with spy bug found on Ozon in Russia

  • —A Ledger Nano X from Ozon contained a bug board with an antenna between the display and mainboard
  • —The implant reads the 24-word seed phrase during setup and sends it over a mobile network
  • —Karpeles' list covers 15 devices from nine sellers, including MediaMarkt and Amazon Japan
  • —On-chain analysts estimated losses from tampered wallets at nearly $90 million
Why it matters: Buying hardware wallets via marketplaces and resellers risks seed-phrase theft; devices bought in 2026 should be opened before first setup.
