Ledger asks sellers across Asia to halt sales after supply-chain attack

Ledger, a hardware wallet manufacturer, has identified a supply-chain attack involving tampering of its devices. As a precaution, the company has asked sellers across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hong Kong to halt sales and remove affected products from shelves while the investigation is ongoing. No detailed technical information or confirmed exploit details have been provided at this time.

The supply-chain attack potentially compromises the integrity of Ledger hardware wallets distributed in the affected regions. This could lead to risks such as compromised device security or theft of cryptocurrency assets if tampered devices are used. However, no confirmed exploits or active attacks have been reported yet.

Ledger has proactively requested that all resellers and distributors in the specified countries suspend sales and remove products from shelves. Customers and sellers should comply with these instructions and await further guidance from Ledger. No additional mitigation steps are currently detailed.
