Ledger Wallets Tampered With Spy Chips
CZ comments on hackers buying a Ledger reseller, signing an NDA and implanting spy chips to steal private keys.
Key points
- Hackers bought the reseller and made them sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep their mouth shut, according to @cz_binance.
- A scam shop in Malaysia was listed as an "official authorized reseller for years" and criminals inserted microscopic spy chips on every wallet, repackaged the device and shipped it to unsuspecting victims, stealing over $80,000,000.
- @dafangbigfang says this may be the first publicly reported case of a Ledger Stax being tampered with in a similar way, also purchased from an official Ledger-authorized reseller in Malaysia.

What's crazier is the hackers apparently bought the reseller and made them sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep their mouth shut.
So many things wrong here...Quoting @pete_rizzo_: JUST IN: UP CLOSE VIDEO SHOWS HOW HACKERS STOLE OVER $80,000,000 SILENTLY CORRUPTING LEDGER #BITCOIN WALLETS
A SCAM SHOP IN MALAYSIA WAS LISTED AS AN "OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED RESELLER FOR YEARS"
BEHIND THE SCENES, CRIMINALS WERE INSERTING MICROSCOPIC SPY CHIPS ON EVERY WALLET
THEY REPACKAGED THE DEVICE AND SHIPPED IT TO UNSUSPECTING VICTIMS
ALL THE WHILE IT WAS SILENTLY CAPTURING THEIR PRIVATE KEY
