Ledger, a leading manufacturer of hardware wallets, has confirmed the presence of an unauthorized hardware implant in some of its devices. The discovery was made as part of a larger investigation into potential security vulnerabilities. The affected wallets were reportedly sold through a single reseller in Southeast Asia, suggesting the incident was contained to a specific geographic region. The potential losses from the compromised wallets could exceed $86 million, although this figure is still being assessed. Ledger is working closely with its partners to mitigate the impact of the breach and provide support to affected customers.
