Ledger Wallet Security Questions Grow After Confirmed Device Implant

Over the weekend, Ledger wallet confirmed that one device linked to the CryptoBilis investigation contained an unauthorized hardware implant, while blockchain analytics firm Bitquery’s latest update estimated $93.2M in crypto losses from 315 wallets across six chains. The on-chain estimate is not a Ledger-confirmed total, and the device finding does not establish that the implant caused every reported drain or validate claims of a wider European compromise. The confirmed tampering raises a hardware-wallet security and device-provenance concern, but the incident’s scope and attack path remain unresolved.
