Ledger Hack: Physical Attacks. How likely are they? How to protect yourself? [See description too]

Victims of the ledger hack are scared because many of their home addresses are part of the ledger leak. In this video we discuss what the hackers can do with your address, the likelihood of physical attacks, and how to mitigate some of the risks. For more details on how to protect your home, see Jameson's guide, linked in the description below, and the next video in the playlist on Physical Security in Bitcoin.

NOTE: This ledger hack does not affect the security of your Ledger hardware wallet device. Do not enter your mnemonic phrase into a website. If you are affected you need to protect yourself against SIM swaps and phishing attacks now. Learn how by watching LEDGER HACK PLAYLIST or WATCH the full Ledger hack livestream here:
