Ledger says Atom wallet makes supply-chain spy implant detectable

  • —The implant read the screen and sent the 24-word seed phrase over mobile networks
  • —Analysts estimate user losses at $86–93 million
  • —Atom features an active shield powered by a separate 5-year battery
  • —Atom costs €849, with shipping expected in summer 2027
Why it matters: The supply-chain attack undermines trust in hardware wallets, and Atom's visible tamper protection could become an industry standard.
