Ledger has confirmed that a hardware wallet linked to roughly $93 million in crypto thefts contained a hidden, unauthorized implant, a microcontroller with cellular connectivity concealed behind the screen. It confirms a physical supply-chain attack, not a Ledger systems hack. Here's what happened.
