[Suspected Contamination in Ledger Wallet's European Supply Chain, Two Devices Found with Spyware Installed] BlockBeats News, October 12: A crypto community user, Johannes, posted that two Ledger hardware wallets purchased from different MediaMarkt stores in Europe were found to have suspected spyware and hardware modifications, including additional cables and LTE modules. He called on Ledger to immediately recall the affected products. Johannes stated that MediaMarkt staff confirmed the second device was not a returned product, as returned Ledger products are sent directly back to the manufacturer and not resold as new. Store records indicate that the related inventory came from the supplier Aqipa GmbH. Since this company operates distribution businesses in Europe, Johannes suspects the issue might involve a broader retail inventory, though there is currently no evidence to confirm that Ledger's supply chain across Europe has been widely compromised. Johannes mentioned that he has handed over the first device to relevant personnel for analysis and plans to send the second device to Ledger for investigation. He also released an unboxing video as evidence. He advised users to check for abnormalities in devices purchased from merchants outside of Ledger's official channels. At present, the above claims are primarily based on the user's personal disclosure. The cause of the device tampering, the extent of the impact, and whether it involves a supply chain attack remain to be verified by Ledger and other relevant parties. [Original Link]
