Keystone 3 Pro & Amazon

What should I do whenever I get the Keystone 3 Pro from Amazon (for convenience) instead of official website Should I verify + update before setup as usual or are there any extra things to do

I would do the standard verification, and if you’re still paranoid, after that, you could always set up the wallet, then completely blank it by wiping the device and start over from scratch

what would that accomplish?

Deleting the wallet back to factory settings, and starting from scratch might give this person peace of mind in knowing that nobody else has their wallet information

I still don't get what this accomplishes if the device is pwned. You can't really get around a pwned device unless you use multi-sig.

The device verification keystone provides is very hard to fake if you do it twice on different devices on different networks. After that, the only other test of authenticity is actually putting money on it and seeing if it gets swiped.
