“Everyone gets hacked sooner or later,” said Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier.
Speaking to Bloomberg Crypto on Tuesday, he was asked how Ledger assures customers that its devices are secure. He replied that perfect security does not exist, a principle that applies to Ledger and other companies alike. The Block reported the remarks.
· This is a public acknowledgment of the limits of security; the source material provides no specific cases or data showing that Ledger devices have been compromised.
· He extended the conclusion to Ledger itself and the industry as a whole, without distinguishing between devices, software, or user actions.
Now that a hardware wallet maker has acknowledged that perfect protection is impossible, would you change how you back up your private keys?
