Shiba Inu’s lead developer urges the community to buy cold wallets only from certified manufacturers; Tangem teases the arrival of Shiba hardware wallets.
With the rise of scams in the crypto community, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu (SHIB), recently took a moment to address a crucial aspect of crypto security – cold wallets.
Kusama’s advice was straightforward and resolute: “Don’t ever buy a cold wallet from anyone except the certified manufacturer directly.”
Security Sidenote: IMHO, Don't ever buy a cold wallet from anyone except the certified manufacturer directly. #STAYSAFE

Kusama’s reminder comes at a crucial time, given the soaring popularity of cryptocurrencies and the relentless attempts by malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities in the digital realm. Particularly, the developer’s message emphasized the significance of taking extra precautionary steps when acquiring cold wallets.
A cold wallet, otherwise called a hardware wallet, is a physical device offering an offline and secure method to store private keys, safeguarding cryptocurrencies from online threats. Cold wallets have become an indispensable tool as long-term crypto investors and enthusiasts prioritize the safety of their holdings.
Kusama highlighted the importance of purchasing directly from reputable manufacturers to minimize risks associated with obtaining cold wallets from unknown sources or third-party vendors.
The tweet garnered positive responses from the crypto community, with many expressing gratitude for the timely reminder. Bad Idea Ai, a distinctive AI meme token, also echoed the sentiment, supporting Kusama’s message and urging users to remain vigilant in their crypto endeavors.
