Ledger says Genuine Check cannot detect added hardware if secure chip is intact

  • —Genuine Check authenticates the secure element chip
  • —It cannot detect added hardware if the original chip is intact
  • —Ledger Donjon recommends a separate physical integrity check
  • —Ledger confirmed finding an unauthorized implant in one device
Why it matters: The dispute over Genuine Check could erode trust in hardware wallets, as users may wrongly treat the check as proof that no implant was added.
