Karpelès Reports Ledger Implants in Devices From Two More Resellers

The Defiant reports that Mark Karpelès found hardware implants in Ledger devices bought from two more resellers. Ledger says its inspections of German stock found no tampering and that it has not verified a fund drain tied to a device bought outside Southeast Asia. Ledger's authenticity check cannot detect the added hardware, which shows the limit of attestation against reseller-channel tampering. The page text is only a teaser, so technical detail is limited.

TL;DR Karpelès reports Ledger hardware implants in devices from two more resellers; Ledger's authenticity check can't detect them and it disputes the wider drain claim.
