What happened

Reports have been mounting that users of the Ledger crypto wallet have seen their accounts drained, and suspicion is that it's related to reseller CryptoBillis and a bit of spy hardware. Ledger has asked CryptoBillis to pause all sales of its wallets while it conducts an investigation. Photos and videos posted on X and Threads appear to show a small circuit board sandwiched under the screen.
