Ledger slammed for $849 Atom launch days after $86M hack

  • —Atom is an $849 Android device with data-only eSIM, no calls or texts
  • —The $86M hack used spyware implanted in wallets sold by reseller CryptoBilis
  • —Ledger halted sales at 23 official resellers across South Asia
  • —No tampering found in devices from German reseller MediaMarkt
Why it matters: The reputational hit to the largest hardware wallet maker could push users toward rivals and sharpen scrutiny of supply-chain integrity.
