Ledger confirms hardware implant in CryptoBilis reseller units as MediaMarkt suspends sales in Europe

Ledger has confirmed that devices sold through reseller CryptoBilis contain a hardware implant designed to steal recovery phrases, and MediaMarkt has suspended sales of Ledger products across Europe in response. The compromise affects the physical supply chain rather than Ledger's firmware, but it directly undermines the core security promise of a hardware wallet. Traders and self-custody holders should treat this as a confidence shock for Ledger and hardware-wallet demand, though it does not target a specific token.
