TLDR About $90 million was reportedly stolen from tampered Ledger wallets sold by CryptoBilis, according to Santiment, though Ledger has not verified the total. Hidden LTE implants copied the 24-word recovery phrase during setup and sent it over an eSIM. Mark Karpelès says Ledger received warnings about tampered devices as early as December 2025. Trezor and OneKey cut ties with CryptoBilis and trimmed their reseller lists. Ledger says users who set up a CryptoBilis device should move funds to a new device with a new recovery phrase. Ledger is facing questions about how it handled reports of tampered hardware wallets.
