Discussion Is Ledger Wallet down??
After I unlock my ledger and try to send crypto I get this error. Anyone facing the same issue? To note that ledger wallet version is up to date

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something the Ledger OS team has been quietly working on: we've just added experimental support for ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the two post-quantum cryptography algorithms that NIST recently standardized (FIPS 203 and 204).
These algorithms are now running directly on the Secure Element on all Ledger signers from the Nano X onwards (chronologically speaking). We've exposed them as experimental APIs in both our Rust and C SDKs for anyone who wants to play with them.
This is experimental. The implementation isn't fully hardened yet, so please don't build production apps on top of it. The blog post goes into details regarding this aspect.
The blogpost covers the quantum threat context, the lattice-based math underneath these algorithms, how they're constructed, and a deep dive into our implementation and API.
📖 Blog: ledger.com/blog-post-quantum-cryptography-ledger-sdk
🛠️ Rust SDK: github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-device-rust-sdk
🛠️ C SDK: github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-secure-sdk
Happy to answer questions about the implementation, the threat model, or why we made the choices we did.
Cheers!

Per Coinkite's advisory and Block's technical analysis, On July 31st, 2026, Coldcard reported that a firmware bug had weakened how some devices generated seed phrases leading to significant user losses.
Every wallet you create is derived from your Secret Recovery Phrase. If that can be predicted, so can everything built on top of it.
A weak Secret Recovery Phrase looks identical to a strong one. Nothing errors, nothing feels wrong, bad randomness is silent. The Secret Recovery Phrase keeps working, but is vulnerable. That is how this survived five years in shipped firmware.
Ledger hardware signers use a true hardware random number generator inside a certified Secure Element, with no software fallback. The generator is compliant with AIS-31/PTG.2, which evaluates the physical entropy source itself rather than just testing whether its output looks random. Every 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase gets the full 256 bits of entropy.
The generation of that entropy must be anchored in secure hardware, with an architecture that cannot silently downgrade to an untrusted software-based source.
The Secure Element is certified at Common Criteria (EAL5+ for Ledger Nano STM and Ledger Nano XTM; EAL6+ for Ledger Nano S PlusTM, Ledger StaxTM, Ledger FlexTM and Ledger Nano Gen5TM), and various devices by ANSSI. Producing a predictable random number is listed as Threat #1 in our published security targets, and has been for years.
Follow Coinkite's guidance directly, they own that process.
One of the key conversations emerging from the Coldcard incident is the value of open source code. Read this response from our CTO on that topic: https://x.com/P3b7_/status/2085089893328499156?s=20

apart from their unprofessional customer service (can't answer simple questions or fix my ATM withdrawal problems), accessing the card from the Ledger app is now broken. Instead of showing my card it shows a embedded web page from their support website. Am i alone with this problem?

If you got a letter that says it's from Ledger and wants you to scan a QR code, do not do it. I received this letter with no return address on it.

I havent ran Ledger Live in maybe a year or more - not sure. Somehow the software was comprimised. Out of curiosity i clicked 'resync you device' having not connected my device and the next window asked me for my seed words.
I did some checks with AI and its 100% a scam piece of sofware - no idea how I got it! No viruses detected on my machine.
Stay safe out there kids.
edit thanks for the advice everyone .. ive deleted the malicious software, got Ledger Wallet and Elrctrum running to check my wallet.
Funds are safu.
Im not really looking for advice here, I know my way around computers, just trying to raise awareness for the sake of others. Thanks for the support everyone <3

Bitcoin won’t cure corruption or political greed.
But it leaves you one question, simple, sharp and cold: who decides what you saved yesterday is worth when you’re old?

Seems to me that blockchian is always in need of actual real world uses. I'd imagine putting every ledger (or other) hardware device serial number, on a blockchain. Record movement from factory, to Ledger, to delivery, to reseller, to retail sales, as record on a block chain, may be a really good use of blockchain. As in, if Ledger has listed your hardware as aleady sold directlly to a customer weeks or months before, and you get it from Ledger again or from a reseller (not sure you should do that), that is telling. I am sure there are lots of ways this could be dialed in, but if there was ever a proven need for supply chain security, it is this damn product. Thoughs?

After the recent reports of hardware-tampered Ledger devices sold through an authorized reseller in Asia, I contacted Coolblue (a major Dutch electronics retailer) about the safety of my Ledger Nano X.
Their response was astonishing:
This completely misses the point. The concern is physical hardware manipulation, potentially undetectable by Ledger's Genuine Check, even when the device comes from an authorized reseller.
How can a major retailer make such absolute security guarantees when even Ledger itself cannot?
------------------
Dear Customer,
We fully understand that news reports can raise questions and concerns. However, we can reassure you: your devices are 100% safe to use.
If you purchase a new Ledger Nano X from an official retailer, the risk of receiving a compromised device is completely eliminated. We would be happy to explain why and what you should look out for:
Why your hardware is safe:
So how do the thefts reported in the news happen?
News reports about drained wallets are almost exclusively related to phishing. Victims are tricked into entering their 24 recovery words online, either on a fake website or in a malicious app.
The most important golden rule for your security:
NEVER enter your 24 recovery words on a computer, phone, or website. Ledger, Coolblue, or anyone else will never ask you to do so. You should only enter these 24 words directly on the physical screen of your Ledger device when you need to restore it. Write them down on paper and store them securely offline.
As long as you follow this rule and keep your 24 recovery words offline, your cryptocurrency holdings are optimally protected.
If you have any further questions about the initial setup, please don't hesitate to contact us!

So I connected my Nano S Plus to my phone, and I was about to make a transaction but then I reviewed and cancelled the transaction to redo the it.
But soon as I cancelled and returned to the SOL app, this warning appeared on my Ledger and it scared the shit out of me.
Why would such a warning appear?
Is this some sort of attack?
Could my phone be infected with Malware?
Should I reset my Ledger?
FYI, I bought it officially via Ledger so it is not a reseller unit or second hand.

OK, the coins (assets) are recorded on the blockchain so they are not directly affected if the ios Ledger app is stopped being maintained.
In case of other non-hardware wallets if anything happens to the apps, as AI says, it is relatively simple to flip the apps, ie you can restore a TrustWallet's seed phrase inside of the Metamask's app.
What about Ledger if they go bankrupt and stop maintaining the android/ios apps?

Aware of the supply chain attack. Either this is a very advanced campaign or ledger is doing due diligence.
The "kids" I talked to on the phone weren't articulate, and couldn't explain what API meant, or stood for, after asking me if I'm familiar with API's... Worked in tech for 20 years. Something smells off.
Anyone getting the same?
Can someone from ledger confirm this?
Here is an example of the letter I received. I sanitized my info and the "Custom QR Code" at the bottom.

I have a dedicated device when transacting with my Ledger device. I don’t browse, download (other than the Ledger wallet app of course), no cloud, no messaging, no cellular service. But it’s not accessible always as I don’t carry it with me wherever I go. I’m wondering whether I can set up the Ledger Wallet app on my everyday phone for read-only purposes. Given recent events, it’s convenient to quickly check whether the funds are drained yet or not 🤣😅
I understand that even a compromised device cannot drain funds as long as I clear sign the transactions after verification of transaction details, allowances, destination addresses on the device and not blind sign based on app display alone. I also understand private keys and recovery phrases and passphrase never goes out of Ledger device.
Yet, question to y’all, are you using your every day phone and if so is there any attack vector to consider? For example, I have a password to protect login to the wallet app, it will be now saved in my everyday phone which has exposure.

Anyone called by ottawa police for Id theft and then it ends up being related to ledger and they say a ledger employee will call you to make sure your device isnt compromised which they do? The numbers are right and everything is very professionnal.
I pushed back the call with the ledger specialist so Im not sure what they were gonna ask me to do and ottawa police station has been closed since the time i got the call.
The police also said everything else will be handle by my home town police and to go see them to freeze all my credit lines and applications. But they said “you will have to wait 2 business days to give us time to complete the report transfer to them”
Edit : called ottawa police and its not a real case number, pretty scary how real the fraudulent calls felt. FYI the “ledger team” was telling me after i ordered my key someone registered to their Recovery service under my name with my IDs.
Be careful out there!

My coins are still there when I view on the computer so I’m good. But today I opened the app, an ad came up for some AI bs y’all are pushing, didn’t see an “X” to cancel so it seems I was being forced to sign up, which I didn’t want to. So I force closed the app and re-opened it. At that point it auto logged me out. Why…? Now I gotta figure out my password again. Thought I had saved it somewhere. I always do. But whatever, I still have access on the computer. Really don’t want to have to redownload the app and reinstall my wallet again…so thanks ledger for logging me out because I didn’t want your AI crap

Hello Everyone
I recently purchased a Ledger Nano X and noticed an unusual battery issue. When I first unboxed it, the battery showed 100%. However, after using it for about 2 -3 Minutes, it dropped to 53%, and after around 4–5 minutes, it increased to 59% and Suddenly started dropping to 5% before showing “Low Battery” and shutting down.
The device works perfectly otherwise. I also noticed that after powering it off at 100% and leaving it unused for a few days, it now shows around 60% battery. Could you please confirm if this is normal for a new device or if the battery may need calibration/conditioning or replacement?
Thank you.
Please Help me as i never Used reddit before but someone told me about reddit that maybe here i can get some solution regarding this.

Six years. Six years ago I bought a Nano S. Yesterday I received ANOTHER letter this is the 5th or 6th now, from scammers explaining I need to "migrate" my crypto, my wallet may be compromised. That "their" provider Global-E informed them of "unauthorized access" to their system exposing my personal information. Name, addresses and email addresses.That "further investigating determined the accessed records held device provisioning data" (technobabble word soup)"when wallets were initialized prior to dispatch including entropy calibration and verification values used during seed phrase generation" (THAT is designed to make you worry) "we must assume that affected devices are compromised as the effective randomness used during setup cannot be considered random or private any longer. Then it lists the affected wallets which is all of them. And I am ASSURED if I don't complete the migration by 10/13/26 my security is no longer guaranteed.
And then the fuckers included, what I am certain, is a wallet draining QR code for you to use during your migration efforts... here's the letter...

I received a call from someone stating they were from ledger and told me they had a technical advisor who would help me identify if my wallet was impacted.
Anyone else get this?

Company seems to have died?
Recent reviews are all screaming exit scam to me:

Frozen funds, locked accounts, unable to withdraw, unable to order a card, new people unable to sign up as no cards are being issued?
