Karpelès Says MediaMarkt Ledger Nano X Contained Spy Implant

Mark Karpelès, CEO of Tokyo-based Karpelès Lab, said he found a spy implant inside a Ledger Nano X purchased at MediaMarkt in Germany, adding another European retail device to reports of altered Ledger wallets. X user Johannes bought the Nano X and sent one device to Karpelès and another to Ledger, Karpelès said. The unit sent to him arrived Oct. 15. Karpelès said he found an implant inside. Johannes had previously said two Ledger devices he bought at separate MediaMarkt stores contained unauthorized wiring and cellular modules, in earlier reports of tampering at the retailer . The German device follows Karpelès’s earlier statement that a Ledger Flex bought through Singapore airport retailer Metapod contained an implant customized for that wallet.
