Ledger SAS, a prominent crypto hardware maker, is investigating reports of user funds being drained from their wallets. The incident has raised concerns in the industry, as attacks on crypto wallets continue despite the technology's reputation for security. Ledger has identified that the affected wallets were purchased from a Malaysian reseller named CryptoBilis. The company has clarified that no reports have been made regarding products bought directly from Ledger or about its own infrastructure, systems, and services.
The investigation comes amid ongoing attacks on crypto assets, challenging the perception that digital wallets are impervious to theft. Ledger's spokesperson emphasized that the issue appears isolated to wallets from the Malaysian reseller, suggesting a potential supply chain vulnerability. The company is likely to take steps to address the problem and reassure its users about the security of its products.
