Ledger said an affected user’s hardware wallet contained a hardware implant, prompting CryptoBilis to halt sales of all hardware wallet inventory while an investigation proceeds.

The move expands an earlier pause request that applied only to Ledger devices. CryptoBilis is now withholding its full hardware wallet inventory pending the investigation.

The incident raises concerns about the security of devices used to protect crypto assets.
