Ledger finds seed-phrase skimmer in resold hardware wallets
- —Attackers bought genuine devices, opened them and fitted a seed-phrase skimmer
- —The tampered units came through a resale channel in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong
- —Ledger said its chips, operating system and servers were not compromised
- —The Genuine Check does not detect physical tampering, Ledger warned
Why it matters: Holders who bought Ledger devices through secondary channels should generate a new seed phrase and move their assets.
