I'd only buy hardware wallet directly from the manufacture or an authorized reseller. Even a trusted brand can't fully protect users if the device is tampered with before is reaches them.

That was an authorized reseller that got hacked product in one of the latest cases

I bought a Ledger straight from the official site and, ngl, the sealed box and the firmware verification in Ledger Live gave me confidence. To stay safe, always order from the brand's website, inspect the tamper-evident sticker and run the device through the official verification tool before use.

MitM is an attack on the communication channel.

The entire situation is pretty insane, what’s the next step in cold/hardware wallets? Being able to build them yourself from scratch?
