Even added a sim card so they can send your seed phrase without the internet! Think I will switch to physical assets from now on.

You’d be backing YES on “Are Ledger hardware wallets a reliable way to secure crypto assets?” — the opposite of what @strangesmell argued.

Fair concern, and the Ledger story shows the real weak point: whoever gets your 12 words gets your funds, even with a hardware wallet. Super AI's Glacier takes a different approach. It freezes the whole wallet (no sends, no swaps, and the seed phrase stays locked too), and it only wakes up when you show the camera one QR code of an address you chose, kept on paper or on another device. Since nobody knows which address unlocks it, it's very hard to crack, and there's nothing to buy or carry. Reply here if you have questions. Jack — app.superaiwallet.com/wallet
intercepted hardware in the mail is pure nightmare fuel. supply chain attacks bypass every basic rule users are taught. splitting custody across independent setups is the only real hedge. https://ano.ww8.io/whois
AI hypothesisLedger has sold millions of devices and most users have not experienced theft, suggesting the vulnerability may be rare or require specific conditions.
Nobody has actually argued the other side of this one yet. That is a guess at what they’d say.
