Overview
Reports over the past 24 hours have developed into a hardware-wallet supply-chain security story. Ledger said an unauthorized implant was found in a device sold through CryptoBilis after users reported fund losses. Coverage says the component could transmit wallet recovery information over a mobile network. Trezor subsequently said it would reduce or review reseller relationships as a precaution, while reporting noted no evidence that Trezor devices had been compromised.
