Even cold wallets can be compromised. Ledger has officially admitted that a group was taking genuine devices apart, implanting hardware to steal recovery phrases, then repackaging and selling them as new.
If you’re buying second-hand or from unofficial channels, the first thing you should do when you turn it on is generate a new recovery phrase yourself. Don’t use the piece of paper included in the box.
When it comes to the supply chain, even hardware wallets aren’t safe.
