Bitcoin Magazine Ledger Investigates Fund Losses Tied to Southeast Asian Reseller After Implant Found in Device Ledger has said it is working with authorities after users last week reported losing funds and one received a tampered device. But the company reassured customers that the number of impacted products was “limited. ” The hardware wallet manufacturer added in an announcement on Sunday that it had reached out to affected customers. Paris-based Ledger on Friday said it had started an investigation after customers in South East Asia reported they’d lost funds after buying from a reseller. Then, on Saturday, Ledger said it confirmed that one of the impacted users’ devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger would not confirm the amount of money lost but blockchain investigator Specter said $86 million had been drained from devices. “As the investigation continues, we are working with relevant authorities,” Ledger wrote on Sunday.
