Kano or anyone who might know can you please tell me if buying an Open Box Ledger Nano S is secure thing to do? Because I bought one couple of days ago and it said new in the description but now the guy tells me that he opened the box to take some pictures of it! I think when I was setting up my old Ledger wallet it let me pick from 2 options, one was setting up a new wallet and another was to recuperate an existing wallet so he couldn't have done anything to save something in order to access it later on could he? Huh

Thanks!

I believe that there is a signature mechanism between the Ledger Nano S and the Ledger Wallet Chrome App, so it would be very hard to fake the Ledger Nano S hardware and firmware.

Edit: Found it! It's called Attestation. https://blog.ledger.co/how-to-protect-hardware-wallets-against-tampering-cad35cb72c1

You could also open it up and verify the hardware's integrity per these instructions https://ledger.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/how-to-verify-the-security-integrity-of-my-nano-s

Thank you very much for the info my colleague friend!!!!

. Because I couldn't find that info! Undecided

. I will definitely inspect it when it arrives, although I already found a guy that wants to sell me a sealed one but I will still check it because it isn't from the factory. The one from the factory the French will only ship out to me the 4th of September.

Thanks again!
