Ledger faced criticism from former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès for not acting on early warnings about tampered hardware wallets months before its latest security crisis. The warnings concerned risks of physical tampering with Ledger devices, which could compromise private keys. While this is a reputational hit for Ledger, it does not directly impact crypto prices, but traders should monitor for any broader implications on hardware wallet trust and self-custody adoption.
