Ledger Asks Resellers in Seven Asian Markets to Pull Devices After Suspected $86M Drain

Ledger has asked resellers and distributors in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to stop selling its hardware wallets and take them off the shelves while it investigates devices fitted with a hidden implant, the company said in a tweet on Tuesday. The request covers Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Hong Kong. The only confirmed incidents remain in Southeast Asia, Ledger said, and it has not verified a drain linked to a device bought elsewhere. The company has previously said that all confirmed losses involve devices sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller in the region.
