Ledger is investigating reports of drained wallets bought through reseller CryptoBillis, has asked the reseller to pause sales, and has warned buyers not to set up wallets from it, as Arkham tracked more than $80 million in reported losses across three blockchains and theft estimates approach $90 million. One trader lost 80 BTC from a new Ledger bought through the reseller, and users were separately warned of a potential implant in Malaysian devices. Tether froze USDT linked to the thefts, and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao advised a two-week freeze on new devices. Separately, an iPhone exploit is targeting Coinbase, MetaMask and Trust Wallet users to steal data and recovery phrases.
