These recent teardowns of compromised Ledger wallets are frightening. Because the infiltration of hardware looks very pro. Mass production and standardized parts added.
Even weight difference might not be obvious. He compared weights for one Ledger product but the small variations in weight among genuine devices made comparisons not clear.
Possibly only X-ray would uncover the fake without cracking the case?
Ah good one, more useful info in that one. That kapton circuit might be traceable to whoever ordered it.
And the Vodafone NL SIM could also offer some leads
Vodafone NL data only SIMs are very common for IoT connectivity when devices need to roam in Europe, such as in connected cars.
I'd assume it's not a coincidence and fraudsters made sure there's no easy way to trace anything back from the SIMs.
