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.

There was this reddit story about a guy who bought a tampered-with device from eBay: https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/7obot7/all_my_cryptocurrency_stolen/ and many others

But I think that as long as you verify the seal not to be broken and you buy from the original vendor only, you are safe. Read this: https://www.ledger.fr/2015/03/27/how-to-protect-hardware-wallets-against-tampering/
