Analysis

Ledger faces confirmed supply chain tampering across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores in Europe, with @0xJohannes_ verifying identical spyware modifications on devices purchased from separate locations and traced to distributor Aqipa GmbH. CryptoMichNL notes the incident damages trust in hardware wallets industry-wide and steers users toward ETFs and tokenized products favored by Wall Street, though solutions for self-custody of Bitcoin and other assets remain essential.
