Security Incidents
A crypto user claims they lost $2.5 million in Bitcoin and NFTs from a Ledger Nano S, sparking scrutiny over Ledger's security. While the user insists the seed phrase was secure, the incident has reignited debate over hardware wallet vulnerabilities and possible user error.
In March 2024, Ledger discovered a vulnerability in the microcontroller that could bypass firmware integrity checks. Trezor patched the issue, with no user funds compromised or action required.
