Ledger Recalls Devices in Asia After Suspected $86 Million Security Breach

Ledger Recalls Devices — Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has asked resellers in seven Asian markets to pull its devices from shelves following a suspected security breach that may have drained $86 million from users.

The company is investigating a potential supply chain attack after a customer in Germany reported finding an implant in a Ledger device purchased from electronics retailer MediaMarkt Saturn. In response, the European retail chain has also halted all sales of Ledger products.

Ledger has not specified which Asian markets are affected by the recall request. The incident suggests a sophisticated physical tampering of devices before they reached consumers, bypassing the company’s standard security checks.

The suspected $86 million drain represents one of the most significant potential breaches involving hardware wallets, raising serious concerns about supply chain integrity for crypto storage solutions. Ledger has advised customers to only purchase devices directly from its official website.
