1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Hardware backdoors found in Ledger wallets sold through authorized retailers after $102M theft

Ledger confirmed that hardware implants planted in some Ledger Nano X wallets sold by Malaysian reseller CryptoBilis allowed attackers to steal roughly $102 million in crypto. Since then, a European buyer and other researchers have reported finding similar implants in Nano X, Flex and Stax devices purchased from a major German electronics chain, suggesting the tampering extends beyond the single reseller Ledger initially named.
