SafePal responds to hardware wallet security concerns, reminding users to check device authentication, activation records, and packaging seals
PANews October 13 reported that the official SafePal Customer Service account on October 10 stated that it is monitoring reports of fund losses involving Ledger devices sold by reseller CryptoBilis, and reminded SafePal users to check three safeguards: device authentication during initialization, the first activation date prompt in the App, and the tamper-evident packaging seal. These mechanisms are intended to help identify devices that have been tampered with or used. If any check shows an anomaly, users should stop using the device and contact official support through the SafePal website or App.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Before a hardware wallet reaches the user, it may face the risk of being opened, tampered with, or used. SafePal’s recommended approach is to check the device authentication, first activation date, and packaging seal; if any item is anomalous, do not continue using the device and contact official support.
Why it matters to readers
Hardware wallets are directly related to the security of users’ funds in custody. Whether a device is being used for the first time, whether the packaging is intact, and whether authentication is functioning normally are all important indicators for identifying an anomalous device.
If you are setting up a SafePal device for the first time, or have questions about the purchase channel or packaging condition, check each item according to the prompts; if an anomaly is found, do not continue initializing or using the device.
