Mark Karpelès Says Ledger Spy Implant Turned Up in Devices From 2 More Authorized Resellers

Mark Karpelès , CEO of Tokyo-based Karpelès Lab, said the spy implant found in Ledger hardware wallets sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis has also turned up in devices from two more authorized Ledger resellers , and that its newest version is built for mass production. Karpelès said on Unchained’s Oct. 15 livestream that one of those devices was a Ledger Flex bought from Metapod , a reseller with stores at Singapore’s Changi Airport. He said the implant was customized for the Flex, but “it’s still the same kind of board and the same process of having three chips.” He said one chip reads the screen, one is a cellular modem and one is an eSIM that sends the data.
