72 hour update on reseller CryptoBilis incident 🔽

As the investigation continues, we are working with relevant authorities. The volume of impacted devices is limited. We know this is concerning, especially for those directly affected, and we are reaching out to impacted users.

To date, all confirmed cases related to the disclosed draining incident of Oct 9th, 2026, involve devices sold through the Southeast Asia reseller CryptoBilis. Our systems and direct sales channels remain unaffected.
We take the CryptoBilis situation seriously and are actively investigating.

We encourage impacted users to reach out to Ledger Support through official channels and file complaints with their local law enforcement authorities. As a reminder, CryptoBilis has confirmed having ceased all sales of hardware wallets.

We are reminding our authorized resellers and distributors to source products only through authorized channels and never to restock returned products.

Also, we strongly advise users not to purchase from unauthorized resellers, where the risk of buying suspicious, counterfeit or modified devices is important as nothing operates under ledger security guidelines.

Security isn’t static and this incident underscores why we continuously review and strengthen our distribution and anti-tamper processes.

We are continuously improving that work now and events like this strengthen our resolution: reviewing authorized reseller controls, advancing hardware protections, and cooperating with authorities. Thanks to @SEAL_911 for their collaborative support and all their efforts.

This is an ongoing threat that doesn’t just impact Ledger, but the whole ecosystem, and we are calling others in the space to work with us on making improvements for users.

We believe in jointly working with researchers, other vendors and partners on improving industry chain-of-custody practices and anti-tamper techniques. Raising the bar on physical supply-chain integrity benefits the entire ecosystem. If you have relevant information, contact [email protected].

For CryptoBilis buyers: do not initialize unused devices. If already set up, move to a new seed on a device from Ledger. If you have concerns that your device was impacted by the CryptoBilis incident, please contact Ledger Support through the official site: https://t.co/JUcWwJO9iF.

Ledger Support is available 24/7 to answer your questions and concerns.

Scammers often try to take advantage of incidents like this. Rely only on official Ledger channels. Ledger will never call you, DM you, or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase.

[Tangem @Tangem]

The question we’ve been asked most this week: is it safe to buy a Tangem from a reseller?

🎉Yes. Supply chain attacks simply don’t apply to a Tangem card. Here’s why.

1. A Tangem card has no "outside."
The secure chip and NFC antenna are sealed into a single monolithic card. There's no screen, battery, port or internal wiring to tap, and no room or power for an implant: the card only draws power from your phone during the few seconds of a tap. In a seedless setup, private keys are generated inside the chip, never leave it, and every transaction is signed on the chip. The only data that crosses the NFC link is an unsigned transaction going in and a signature coming out, both of which end up public on the blockchain anyway. There is no secret in transit to intercept.

2. That's also why Tangem's authenticity check covers what matters. The Tangem app challenges the chip with a cryptographic test that only a card produced by Tangem, running Tangem's original firmware, can pass. That firmware is written to the chip once at the factory and can't be updated by anyone afterward, so it can't be swapped in transit. The app also tells you if the card was activated before it reached you, so nobody can hand you a wallet with keys they generated in advance. If you ever see that message, reset the card and the chip will create brand-new keys that only you control. Because the check covers the chip, and the chip is the whole wallet, where you bought your Tangem doesn't change your security. That includes cards bought through CryptoBilis.

So it doesn’t matter where you buy your Tangem: our official store, any of our resellers, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, or even a stranger in an underpass. If the app says the card is genuine, it’s yours and only yours.

We greatly appreciate our resellers' efforts to promote Tangem's mass adoption! They are in 200+ countries across every continent.

Simply Tangem. 🫡

🇺🇲 Hurricane Isaias left at least 4 DEAD and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS without power across the Southeast.

The first Atlantic hurricane of the season made landfall near Destin, FL as a Cat 2 storm with winds of 105 MPH.

It tore off roofs, snapped trees, and triggered surges and flooding before weakening into a post-tropical cyclone as it moved inland.

The hurricane has passed, but the full extent of the damage is still being uncovered...
