    The leak only involves some personal info such as emails and order details. It has absolutely no risk to the security of the Ledger wallets and funds stored on them. Be cautious of any emails appearing to be from Ledger that ask for your seed phrase.

    For phone security it is best to use a password, using fingerprint is less secure since on most phones it is an or condition with the pin or password, if it was an and condition then it would be more secure. Using a pin is not secure.

    Biometrics on smartphones are generally only enabled after boot once the passphrase is used, so rebooting your device is generally a good enough security measure if you find yourself in a situation where you may be compelled to apply your fingerprint or someone may apply a forged version of it. You should still use full-disk encryption on your device to mitigate attacks, and encrypt your private keys with a different passphrase, which you must input to sign any transaction.

    I use Ledger Nano X for my primary portfolio, but I used Exodus for 3 yrs before getting my Ledger, and I liked and trusted Exodus. Don't care for Atomic Wallet, it lost over 6000 THETA tokens by having supported THETA, and right as I loaded my tokens on Atomic, they discontinued supporting THETA. I was unable to retrieve my tokens. I do keep my tokens for 1 crypto on it.

    Are you still narrow minded on POS and/or ETH/BTC maximalist? I stopped watching you back to early 2018 (when you started promoting eth) and just watched this as accidentally appeared on my list and was curious of your recommendation. You should further educate yourself for the future and sorry I really DO NOT want to be rude and all my highest respect to you what you have done to BTC, but everybody needs evolve like the nature does. You, can starts with the 80 peer reviewed research papers from IOHK (lot of BTC related good stufffs there too) to evaluate their proofs of their POS which has equivalent security properties as Bitcoin. And do not tell me it harsh as it took more than a year to digest and be convinced by those proofs. I was also thinking no one can outsmart more than 50 full time scientist (professors, PhDs they have) and of course the formal methods they use and the 200 employee they have too. Open your mind to the possibilities that might be they can be right, but do not believe anybody but start read their papers. It will be funny, I assure you. You know, I thought my one-in-a-life time excitement was the day when I read Satoshi’s paper. But, boy that was nothing compared to what I have read in the IOHK’s research papers. So, pls be open and of course open skeptic, and do not let your experience in Bitcoin blind you to see the things. I wish the best and again all my respect what you have done to the Bitcoin community, but it is the time to move on and think on some broader vision to help the future.
