WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
- The contest was established in the U.S. and is now held in dozens of countries around the world. As part of the award, they evaluate the effectiveness and flexibility of business decisions making use of innovative approaches. This is the most prestigious and well-known award in the field of entrepreneurship. The organizer of the Entrepreneur of the Year is the international audit and consulting company Ernst & Young.
- Cryptowallet Ledger is not hindered by the support. Earlier this year, a British schoolchild identified the vulnerability of the device. He found that the weak point of the wallet allowed you to forge electronic signatures stored on the device, after which the attackers could have the opportunity to profit at the expense of the owner. Representatives of Ledger said that the danger is greatly exaggerated.
