Antwort auf: Also… ist Ledger kompromittiert oder was? Scheint so, als ob der ganze Skandal sich in Luft aufgelöst hat.
Hey – we understand your concerns. Ledger is committed to providing the highest level of security for its users. The Ledger Recover service you mentioned is not yet available. When it does launch, it will be entirely optional. Even if you update your device firmware, it will NOT automatically activate the Recover service. You can learn more about it here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/9579368109597-Ledger-Recover-FAQs
As for updating your Ledger device and app, it’s important to keep them updated to ensure the best security and functionality. Updates often include important security enhancements and new features. However, before updating, always make sure you have your recovery phrase on hand.
Regarding your question about the company’s status, Ledger has not been compromised. Ledger strongly believes in the open-source philosophy. Many of Ledger’s products are already open source, including Ledger Live and many apps that run on Ledger devices. Ledger has also recently open-sourced its cryptography library, which is part of its operating system. The company is working on its open-source roadmap to gradually open-source most of its operating system, starting with Ledger Recover. You can learn more about Ledger’s open-source roadmap here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/11132311094813-Ledger-s-open-source-roadmap.
