European electronics giant MediaMarktSaturn has decided to withdraw all Ledger hardware wallets from its stores and websites across all countries where it operates, following the report of tampered devices in Germany. A user named Johannes revealed discovering unauthorized cables and cellular modules in two devices purchased from different MediaMarkt locations. The case originated in Southeast Asia, where victims who bought their wallets from authorized reseller CryptoBilis based in Malaysia saw their cryptocurrencies disappear. Independent investigators estimate losses at over $90 million. Mark Karpelès, former CEO of Mt. Gox, also stated he found a similar implant in a Ledger Flex purchased at Singapore airport.
