AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This news discusses the security issue of hardware wallets potentially being tampered with during the distribution process. Cosine said that one linked case involved a Ledger Flex, and suspects that the scope of impact may extend beyond the Ledger Nano X; however, the original text only states that Ledger all confirmed cases are related to CryptoBilis devices sold through distributors, and does not state that Ledger the Flex or all mainstream models have been confirmed as affected.
Why it matters to readers
If devices sold through distributor channels have been tampered with, people using these devices to safeguard assets may face security risks. The news also noted that the models of concern may expand from the Ledger Nano X to the Ledger Flex or other mainstream series, but the expanded scope is currently only Cosine's claim.
If the device came from CryptoBilis, or if the model is the Ledger Nano X、Ledger Flex, attention should be paid to Ledger subsequent confirmations and verifiable security information; do not conclude that all devices in the same series have been affected based solely on “may.”
