⚡️👀 ICYMI - The theoretical risk with marketplaces has existed for years: someone can buy a device, modify it or preconfigure it, and then attempt to put it back into circulation via a product return.
Back in 2018, Ledger had already issued an official warning about devices being resold after being preconfigured by a third party with a seed phrase already known to the scammer.
The victim thought they were using a “new” wallet, sent their crypto there… and then the attacker could drain it remotely since they already had the 24 words.
