“Cold wallet manufacturer Ledger is under fire yet again, this time for releasing a firmware upgrade that includes a subscription-based feature called “Recover.” The feature is facing criticism for granting the company access to customers’ seed phrases, which undermines the purpose of a hardware wallet,” BeInCrypto.com notes.
The feature comes as a part of the 2.2.1 firmware update.
Here’s what the firm told people and was noted by CoinDesk:
.@Ledger dug itself into a deeper public relations hole when its support team said “it is and always has been possible” for the firm to extract its users’ keys.
“You have always trusted Ledger not to deploy such firmware whether you knew it or not.”https://t.co/7VNss5K3uJ pic.twitter.com/sNqCqVKVfF
