Data Breach Risk

Security researcher Saleem Rashid discovered a supply chain attack where an attacker could tamper with the device before it reaches the user or steal wallet keys locally or remotely. This vulnerability highlights design and architectural issues in Ledger’s dual-chip architecture.

Data Breach Risk

Ledger experienced a data breach in 2020 through its e-commerce partner Shopify, where the personal information of approximately 272,000 customers was exposed.

Vulnerability in seed phrase recovery service

Ledger introduced an optional seed phrase recovery service called Ledger Recover, which raised privacy concerns as it involves storing users’ encrypted seed phrases with third-party custodians. Critics argue that this undermines the security promise of hardware wallets.
