Ledger Confirms Spy Chip Implant

Ledger confirms hardware implants in devices sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis drained cryptocurrency wallets. Researchers found an ST STM32G431KBU6 chip and tiny eSIM inside tampered Ledger X units available since September 16 for nearly half the original price. The company advises avoiding unauthorized resellers as its Genuine Check cannot detect added implants when the Secure Element remains intact.
