Ledger Atom’s Physical Switch Cuts Camera and Microphone Power

Ledger is accepting reservations for the Ledger Atom Founders Edition. The device has a physical control that interrupts power to its camera and microphone at the circuit level. Ledger says apps, malware and remote attackers cannot reactivate either sensor while the switch is off. An indicator called the Secure Bar shows the switch’s position. The company says both sensors remain unpowered in Secure Mode regardless of the physical switch’s setting. That means the sensors stay without power in that mode even if the switch position changes.
