If your wallet of choice isn’t @ambire and it runs Ledger’s latest signing kit, chances are every signature you make gets reported back to Ledger. I noticed it early while bumping Ledger packages to debug an issue! No affected version ever reached Аmbire production, and we’re shipping it disabled by default, with an opt-in toggle in the privacy settings 🛡️ However, the devil was that it was sneakily enabled by default in the Ledger SDK since their ledgerhq/context-module v1.16... So right after the lib update - every transaction you sign with a Ledger device started sending to http://blind-signing.api.ledger.com the network, the contract or recipient address, device model and firmware, app versions and whether you signed blind. I'd argue that privacy should be the default, @Ledger 💪 Happy to see more and more people becoming aware of the privacy implications and picking Ambire for our ongoing privacy focus. Catching things like this 👀 is part of the job for us!
