Fresh tampering claims hit Ledger wallets sold across Europe

A user who bought two Ledger devices from different European stores says both contained unauthorized parts, including an LTE module and extra cables. He filmed the second unboxing and insists the tampering was already inside the sealed box.


The retail chain operates more than a thousand outlets in eleven countries. The same buyer has now forwarded one wallet to former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles for inspection and sent the other directly to Ledger.


Ledger is urging customers who purchased from third-party sellers to inspect their devices closely. Karpeles had previously flagged hidden communication chips that can still pass the company’s authenticity check. So far there is no independent confirmation of how many units may be affected.
