Crypto hardware maker Ledger SAS is reviewing its policies and processes for how its devices are sold to consumers, after spyware implanted in some wallets led to an estimated US$90mil (RM367mil) in stolen cryptocurrency.

The Paris-based firm is also assessing its anti-tampering protections, Ledger chief technology officer Charles Guillemet said in a social media post on Oct 13. He asked users who suspected their devices had been tampered with to review Ledger’s guidelines for how to safely open up their hardware before doing so, and to send any suspicious devices to Ledger for further examination.

加密货币硬件制造商 Ledger SAS 正在审查其设备销售给消费者的政策和流程，此前一些钱包中植入的间谍软件导致估计价值 9000 万美元（3.67 亿令吉）的加密货币被盗。

总部位于巴黎的 Ledger 公司首席技术官 Charles Guillemet 于 10 月 13 日在社交媒体上发帖称，该公司也在评估其防篡改保护措施。他要求怀疑设备被篡改的用户在自行拆机前查看 Ledger 的安全拆机指南，并将任何可疑设备寄送给 Ledger 进行进一步检查。
