⚡🚨 UPDATE - The CryptoBilis case could be much worse than previously thought: the theory that an attack was orchestrated directly within the supply chain is gaining traction.
CryptoBilis reportedly underwent a change in management recently, and the former owner was contractually prohibited from publicly announcing the transaction before October 19.
He states today: “We no longer have access to CryptoBilis’s accounts, backend, or operations.”
The identity of the new owner remains to be confirmed, however, but rumors are circulating that it is a new Chinese owner, who may be acting as a front for North Korea.
Even more troubling, Mark Karpelès claims to have examined a Ledger Nano X from Malaysia containing a genuine spy module with an antenna, eSIM, and LTE connection.
According to him, the device “simply monitors what appears on the screen, records the seed phrase when it is displayed to you, and then transmits it to a third party.” ” And Ledger’s authenticity check may not detect this type of physical modification if the original Secure Element remains intact.
Ledger is still investigating and has not yet confirmed anything regarding a possible implant at this time.


⚡️🚨 NEW - More than $86 million has reportedly already been stolen from Ledger users who purchased their devices from the reseller CryptoBilis in Southeast Asia.
Ledger is currently investigating several reports of lost funds and has asked CryptoBilis to immediately suspend all sales and shipments of its devices.
For now, the company states that the reports pertain to this specific reseller and that the exact cause of the incident has not yet been officially determined.
Ledger recommends that anyone who has purchased a device from CryptoBilis in the last 90 days should not set it up if it has not already been set up.
For those who have already used it, the company advises considering transferring their assets to a new wallet using a brand-new recovery phrase.
More than $86 million has reportedly already been stolen from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron, according to an on-chain investigator.
This amount has not yet been confirmed by Ledger, but if the estimate proves accurate, the case could become one of the most significant incidents ever linked to a hardware wallet’s distribution chain.
