Over the past five years, the company has faced public disclosures ranging from supply-chain concerns to firmware flaws to cryptographic implementation details.

A Ledger Live desktop user sits down to check their Ethereum balance, and the application freezes at the loading screen. Another user attempts to connect their Ledger Nano X and sees account balances that stopped updating three days ago.
