Ledger Security Advantages

Ledger devices utilize a Secure Element chip, the same technology used in passports and banking cards. This chip keeps private keys isolated from computers and mobile devices, ensuring your assets remain safe even if your device is compromised. Ledger Live requires physical confirmation on the device for all transactions, adding a strong layer of security against hacking attempts.

Ledger.com/Start also teaches users how to identify phishing attacks, counterfeit devices, and scam websites. Following these instructions ensures full control over your crypto assets while maintaining maximum security from external threats.
