Users who purchased Ledger hardware wallets through a Malaysian reseller have lost an estimated $100 million across six blockchain networks following a supply chain compromise. The incident has reignited debate over self-custody security, with some experts suggesting a return to trusted intermediaries while others argue users have fundamentally misunderstood their security surface.
