Ledger reseller incident sparks discussion on hardware wallet "tamper-proof self-destruct" mechanisms

PANews October 10 news: SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted on X platform that after the Ledger reseller incident, the tamper-proof self-destruct mechanism for hardware wallets may become a necessary feature; otherwise, another mechanism is needed to prove that the device in users' hands is an official genuine product. In response, dForce founder Mindao believes that if the device self-destructs upon disassembly, it would instead make it even harder to prove whether the device has been modified, while a detachable design would at least allow verification against circuit diagrams; he also pointed out that Ledger's official website already provides a hardware integrity check guide, but it is too hardcore for ordinary users.
