Ledger was warned about tampered wallets months before crypto theft

  • —Owner showed a modified Nano X with an implant from Thailand in August 2025
  • —Joe Grand says he notified Ledger about the implant on March 4, 2026
  • —Ledger has not published a timeline of warnings before the thefts
  • —Ledger says there is no evidence coins were stolen via such implants
Why it matters: Questions over when Ledger knew about the threat add reputational risk and could weigh on trust in hardware wallets.
