Singapore police report $2.7M losses from tampered Ledger wallets since Sept. 10

Singapore police said at least two cases involving tampered Ledger hardware wallets were reported from Sept. 10, with combined losses of about 3.5 million Singapore dollars ($2.7 million). Preliminary investigations found malicious hardware components in wallets purchased from some retail stores. The incident surfaced publicly on Oct. 9 following reports from CryptoBilis in Southeast Asia, and former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès later warned that a Ledger Flex purchased at Singapore's airport contained a spy implant.
