The guy who lost 850,000 BTC says Ledger knew about a wiretapping chip in its devices back in March. The CEO shot back: “So now you’re the white knight?”
Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès took a device apart and found a hidden circuit board that could steal your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger’s own security guide from March included a photo of a similar spy chip, and the company even admitted that Genuine Check can’t detect it—as long as the original secure chip is still there, the check acts like it doesn’t see anything. The CEO’s response? Dig up Karpelès’s old history from 2014.
The million-dollar question: When you buy a hardware wallet, are you paying for device security—or customer support that likes to argue? Pick a side in the comments—A: Two wrongs don’t make a right; Karpelès is right to call them out. B: Mt. Gox crashed and burned too, so what gives him the right to criticize anyone?
