Ledger’s early implant warnings deserved more action, Karpelès says

60-second summary

Ledger receives early warnings about tampered hardware wallets months before its recent breach, yet former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès says the company failed to act decisively; he notes that contacts in early 2023 highlighted supply‑chain risks, but Ledger’s response remained limited. The delayed mitigation fuels investor distrust, pressuring the hardware‑wallet market’s credibility and valuation.
