Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask your perspective about having ledger. There's a lot of rumor that even brand new ledgers hacked because of it's fake seals. Checking your insights about this one.
You worried what happened to this guy?
https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/7obot7/all_my_cryptocurrency_stolen/All my cryptocurrency stolen (self.ledgerwallet).
I'll add what others verified that nano ledger s is very safe. Just purchase directly from
www.ledgerwallet.com or with any of them
www.ledgerwallet.com/retailersThak you for advice, I wan't buy Ledger but I am afraid that it will broke and I will lose my money(
Don't buy to resellers on ebay, buy to ledgers main website or retailers.
I am reading in the link you provided that Ledger CEO and CTO officially took care of that matter and are helping that poor guy file the complaint to the police. He knows who sold him the Ledger so chances are very high the police will be able to track down who was the scammer (if it was a seller, or some other middleman) and hopefully get the money back to the poor guy.
The lesson learnt is to always buy it from the official source. It comes sealed and you can be sure it was not tampered with.
You see, the small money you may save buying it from some fishy source may be not worth the risk of loosing ALL your crypto holdings!
