Ledger has asked resellers to halt sales and remove hardware wallets from shelves in Hong Kong and six Southeast Asian countries while it investigates suspected device tampering, according to Cointelegraph. The directive expands the scope of retail disruptions following earlier reports that European retailer MediaMarktSaturn pulled Ledger products from its stores.
Investigators are working to identify how and where the devices were tampered with, though Ledger has not yet detailed the scope of the potential security compromise. The ongoing inquiry follows reports of compromised devices that extend beyond earlier incidents connected to the Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis.
