2/ It comes with a letter by Ledger’s CEO and in a Ledger branded bag. Enclosed in the package is a shrinkwrapped Ledger Nano X box that contains what appears to be a legitimate device. bleepingcomputer.com/news/cryptocur…
3/ While regular Ledger hardware wallets are safe, Ledger’s address data breaches are very annoying and endanger people. What really upsets me, is Ledger’s negligence and that they never offered any kind of compensation to their affected customers.
4/ When you order a hardware wallet: never use your real location as shipping address, always use a fake email and a fake phone number. Always buy from the manufacturer. Malicious sellers send you manipulated devices.
5/ No pin code or seed phrase should ever be given to you by anybody else prior to the device initialization.
