PS: This was not a copy/paste virus or anything like that, he took a picture of the address when he created it and the address IS created by his Ledger as you can see here: https://imgur.com/hxhaAfJ
Where's the Ledger on that picture? It looks like a picture of a computer screen, while the whole point of using a hardware wallet is to verify the address on the hardware wallet. Anything else that happens on your computer shouldn't be trusted.



Did you read the entire post? The fact that he took a picture has absolutelly nothing to with it, funds where not stolen, they are still on the blockchain in the same public key.

the picture wasn't taken of the ledger screen was it? if not then that's the point.

i will say though that it's a very confusing explanation situation. probably a chrome bug. no one said it was malicious doesn't need to be. just some irresponsible computer programming at work there perhaps.
