Don’t Use Ledger.

Someone put a chip inside the hardware wallet. Then they waited. George Bodine walks through the Ledger reseller attack, the 2020 breach Ledger said hit about 10,000 customers (the leaked database had 272,000 names and home addresses), and why he's been throwing Ledgers in the trash for years. Bob Burnett explains the part everyone gets wrong: Bitcoin didn't fail, the things you plug into it did. Larry Lepard on 1933, phishing, the deepfake phone call he's waiting for, and why he wipes his Trezor after every use. Then Bob previews something he's been building: a way to send a transaction that the world can't see until it's already in a block.
