Why would a hardware wallet manufacturer deliberately fail to notify users about such an important vulnerability?
Former Mt. Gox CEO: Ledger was warned of hardware wallet tampering as early as December 2025, but did not adequately alert users
Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès said that Ledger had received warnings as early as December 2025 that hardware wallets could be tampered with, but did not take sufficient steps to alert customers before a recent security incident.
Karpelès believes Ledger should have disclosed the risks to users sooner and strengthened its security warnings. These claims are currently Karpelès’s personal allegations and do not, on their own, confirm that Ledger devices have a widespread security vulnerability. (Cointelegraph) $BTC
