Ledger Live Update

It is possible, but if it happened, it would come from Ledger directly.

Not necessarily. A single person infiltrating Ledger's servers could utilize some function to send data or an arbitrary message to all Ledger Live users. This could be a rogue employee, someone using an employee's account, someone who gained access to the servers, someone responsible for hosting or upkeep of the servers, and so on. Any time you rely on someone else, be that a Ledger server or an Electrum server, then you take a risk and there is trust involved.

All possible scenarios, sure. However, I still think that chances for that to happen are smaller than what he witnessed with Electrum where you had hundreds of servers worldwide. That significantly increases the chances for someone to figure out an exploit. Being patient with performing updates like I mentioned previously is always recommended. In case something nasty happened and was introduced in the newest version, the first reports and complains are likely to appear a few hours or a max. day or two after the release. Unless the infiltrator took over everything (servers, social media accounts, blog, website, email correspondence, etc.), it's likely you will hear and read that something is off before you performed the update on your end.

Read the last ledger live update ... lot of people do not like it because of how it looks now.  Do others agree with this?


Still you have to eventually update ledger live right?  Usually wait a week before doing any ledger live update.

Are you guys having an issue with the current ledger live version?  Read that people said the previous one makes it hard to look at your main accounts?  Because of that, i didn't update but now i see there is another ledger live update so im two updates behind. 


Can others confirm here the current ledger live is fine?

Apparently, only iOS and Android apps were redesigned. The desktop version should be safe for now judging by the outrage on Reddit.

Yes, you will eventually have to update it to be able to upgrade your apps and use new features. However, by the time you need to do it, Ledger might have rolled back the design changes.
