Bitcoin News: First Reported Case of a Compromised Ledger Stax Hardware Wallet

A Ledger Stax hardware wallet has reportedly been found with unauthorized hardware implants capable of transmitting a user's seed phrase to attackers, marking the first known case of a compromised Ledger Stax. Suspected modifications include: - Nordic nRF9151: a 4G/LTE cellular modem potentially able to transmit stolen seed data. The component is not present in genuine Ledger devices. - Additional chip: an unauthorized component installed alongside the modem. - Hidden antenna: a cable running over the battery connects the modem to an antenna concealed inside the back cover. The discovery raises further concerns about the scope of the ongoing Ledger supply-chain attack. @Ledger Is there a problem with my Stax equipment? Link:
