Overview: What are the critical risks to consider when thinking about buying a second-hand Ledger?
Key takeaway: Follow the official guidance and start by verifying that your environment and the information source are trustworthy.
Action / decision points:
- Compare model features and your budget before placing an order.
- Reject any second-hand unit or device that comes with a pre-set recovery phrase.
