I have seen many stupid things coming from ledger in the past, but here is another big reason why everyone should avoid all hardware wallets coming from their factory.

Few days ago ledger publicly released a page claiming they are in full Complies with Sanctions!
That basically mean they are going to implement compliance measures to prevent transactions involving sanctioned countries, entities, individuals and wallet addresses, and they are masking this as user protection  Roll Eyes

As a temporary measure you should STOP using ledge live spyware cr-app, but I would suggest switching to different hardware wallets.

If we detect an attempt to interact with a sanctioned wallet address or linked to a sanctioned wallet address, your transaction will not be initiated.

As part of Ledger’s compliance measures, access to Ledger’s products and services is restricted based on IP address and is not available in areas under comprehensive sanctions or in certain locations due to local regulations.
