Fuck Ledger & Fuck their staff. It’s no longer trustable.
No matter how cool their hardware devices look, their leaks & firmware is fucked up.
Moving to Trezor ASAP

**Four reasons why I would never use any ledger product.**
**They leaked details of their clients** (email, phone #, full name, home address, what exactly they bought) and even now these people **keep getting scary phone calls**.
**The wallet has closed code** – nobody (except the company, secret services, hackers) can see how many **back doors** the software has.
**It’s a multi coin wallet** – more coins, means more code, more attack surface.
**The wallet isn’t cold** – the company revealed a feature, allowing to extract the keys into backup facilities online. They said, this is possible (with an update) for a very long time. This is the very **opposite of a cold storage** (never touch the internet).
The first letter in Ledger tells you all you need to know about the company. Avoid them.
Oh look, something totally expected.
Peope are still scammed via very sophisticated snail mail as a result of the data breach back in 2020. Only idiots still buy their product.
This is why separating device security from personal data matters. Hardware wallets might be safe, but data leaks still put users at risk via phishing.
