Security researchers discover counterfeit Ledger hardware wallets sold on Chinese e-commerce platforms
ME News reports that a Brazilian security researcher found that a Ledger Nano S Plus purchased from a Chinese e-commerce site was counterfeit, with an appearance similar to the official product but not verified as genuine. Disassembly revealed altered hardware/firmware, with WiFi/Bluetooth antennas inside, chip markings scraped off, and firmware indicating the manufacturer as Espressif Systems. The researcher warns to only download LedgerLive from ledger.com and to purchase hardware only from ledger; if not verified as genuine, use should be stopped immediately. Previously, over 50 victims had their recovery phrases leaked due to fake Ledger Live listed on the Apple App Store, resulting in losses of approximately $9.5 million. PANews
