An anonymous user recently shared a video on YouTube about how Ledger’s cold wallet was hacked and many thousands of XRP tokens were stolen from it. He said he immediately noticed something was wrong when he connected his laptop to his Ledger wallet to check his balance. Instead of receiving his usual balance, he only had 10 XRP in his wallet. He immediately contacted Ledger’s customer service, who told him that it was probably just a sync error and that a missed update could solve the problem. The user also wants to sue Ledger for damages In the video, the user claimed that customer service repeatedly reassured him that his money was safe on the blockchain and there was nothing to worry about. The woman then returned the wallet to the company for an exchange as per their instructions. When the new Ledger wallet arrived, his fears were confirmed. Many thousands of XRP tokens were transferred to another wallet without his approval. The woman also claimed in the video that she did not share her key with anyone. He immediately contacted Ledger again and announced that the XRP tokens had been stolen. In fact, he even filed a report with the police, and when the video was made, experts examined the device to determine why his money had disappeared. At the end of the video, he drew everyone’s attention to the fact that, in his opinion, Ledger wallets are not completely secure. So everyone should pay maximum attention to what happens to their balance. In principle, he will soon make a new video about the developments. And he’s also suing Ledger to get compensation for his loss.
