An account on X posted that in August 2026 he again reminded two accounts on X about ongoing hardware tampering of devices manufactured in Vietnam — where actors open the hardware wallets and install additional chips designed to steal coins. He states Ledger has been aware of this since at least an earlier report he made previously, meaning no one at the company can claim ignorance.
