I've been using Ledger devices for many years, and the recent discoveries of hardware implants haven't changed my trust in them.
If anything, they've reinforced something I strongly believe in: you should be able to inspect the hardware you entrust with your Bitcoin.
Bitcoin was built around a simple principle: don't trust, verify.
That principle shouldn't stop at software or cryptography. It should extend to the physical devices holding our keys.
Sealed or tamper-evident designs are perfectly fine, as long as they're transparent and don't prevent independent inspection.
Ledger devices are relatively easy to open and examine. That's one of the reasons these malicious implants could be discovered and investigated.
No hardware wallet is immune to supply-chain attacks. But security shouldn't depend entirely on trusting the manufacturer or distributor.
Physical inspection isn't a guarantee of security, but it's an essential part of being able to verify what you're actually using.
Trust comes from the ability to verify, not from being told something is secure.
@MagicalTux@coldnadongie@Ledger I purchased a nano X off the official reseller via amazon japan around may of 2026, should I be worried? I cannot access my device for a few weeks.
