Ledger CTO: Researchers must report bugs if vendors miss disclosure window

This stance sharpens the debate over vulnerability disclosure in the hardware wallet space. By tying researcher ethics to a defined timeframe, Ledger and Trezor are shifting pressure onto vendors to patch promptly, while also drawing a line against sensationalized reporting. The practical impact hinges on how strictly the 'agreed timeframe' is enforced and whether researchers see this as a credible commitment or a way to manage narratives. Watch whether other hardware vendors adopt similar language, and how the community responds to the implied threat of public disclosure as a compliance tool.
