Ledger hardware wallet tampering with spy implants found in Europe
AI summary of the linked articleA user reports finding a hardware wallet with a spy implant in Europe, stating the Ledger device was bought in store from an official European reseller a couple of weeks earlier. The post says the device contained cables absent from a legitimate unit, shown in a second picture, and that the implant looked like an older version, while newer versions usually hide the implant by the screen. The poster notes the compromised device never transferred funds to an exploiter and asks whether it was waiting for wider use. The post advises owners of Ledgers not bought from the Ledger online store to open the device and check it physically, citing reported cases in Asia and South America, and points to videos by @MagicalTux on how to do so. | |
