[Ledger to Launch Atom Hardware Wallet in Mid-2027, Supporting Apps Like WhatsApp and Preventing Supply Chain Attacks] Odaily Planet Daily News: Crypto hardware wallet company Ledger will launch Atom in mid-2027. The device will support running applications like WhatsApp and Instagram, and can switch between smartphone functionality and a protected digital asset management mode. Atom will be equipped with anti-tamper casing, sensors, and specialized packaging, enabling it to prevent supply chain attacks similar to the recent CryptoBilis vulnerability, even when the device is powered off. Ledger initially plans to sell Atom exclusively through its official website to reduce third-party distribution risks but will not offer a trade-in service for customers affected by the vulnerability.
