Who Is Planting Backdoors in Ledger Crypto Wallets?

Ledger crypto wallets sold through authorized resellers in Southeast Asia, Germany, and Europe were found to contain sophisticated hardware backdoors that enabled thieves to steal approximately $102 million in cryptocurrency from around 315 accounts. The implants, discovered on multiple Ledger device models including Nano X, Flex, and Stax, represent an escalation in sophistication compared to earlier discoveries and suggest attackers have shifted tactics to deliberately compromise wallets sold by authorized resellers to exploit customer trust and achieve wider distribution.
