Trezor or Ledger, which one do you recommend? Both of them has been targeted with cyberattacks/phishing and malware recently.
As for the Ledger, you can actually provide false information in their website to avoid such risks of getting your personal information exposed to attackers. Let me quote one of my post regarding this.

Isn't it that this method would just do more harm than good as there is a greater possibility that they are selling tampered or compromised hardware wallet products? Although I am aware that they have a list of authorized resellers.

As far as I know, the safest way to purchase a hardware wallet is by going thru their official website and provide a false information to fill your real name, home address, email, phone number and what not upon purchasing. You can even provide a PO/ PO Box (Post Office) as the drop-off location for your parcel -- it would not be a problem tracking your package since Leger provides a tracking number upon purchase.

Moreover, as a customer, you also have the right to request in removing all the personal information you have provided in their website. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to able to request a deletion appeal on their website since their database has now been compromised  Roll Eyes

If you wish to access, correct, modify or delete the personal information we have about you, object to their processing, exercise your right to portability, file a complaint, exercise any of the above-mentioned rights or simply obtain more information about the use of your personal data, please contact Ledger and its privacy Team at : privacy@ledger.fr

I am not just sure if Trezor has this kind of terms on their service.


On a side note, there are also existing threads that has a good discussion between the pros and cons of Ledger and Trezor.
