Tampered Ledger wallets cost Singapore users $2.7M, police say

Singapore police report that tampered Ledger hardware wallets have cost users $2.7 million, with at least two cases reported as early as Sept. 10 — nearly a month before the wider incident became public. The disclosure points to a supply-chain or tampering attack on a widely used self-custody device, raising concerns about hardware wallet integrity. Traders should watch for follow-up reports on how the tampering occurred, since confidence in self-custody hardware can affect broader crypto sentiment.
