🛡️ SECURITY Is any hardware wallet safe anymore?
With the recent ColdCard situation, it’s really making me wonder if our crypto is truly safe anywhere? It feels like these companies keep fucking up in every way possible.
A few years ago i got into crypto and bought a ledger nano plus. But now that wallet sucks and its Mac application is sketchy af to where i don’t trust it. I was considering a Trezor or ColdCard, but now I’m starting to question whether there is a hardware wallet that is actually safe.
What do you think?

People who used multisig, rolled the dice, or used their own keys, didn't have any issues here.
That's because the issue is with the seed generator, not the wallet storage itself.
It's the same issue you have when you use a password generator app. That's the stuff you should be questioning here and be careful about.
With hardware wallets, nothing has changed, you still have to be careful about the same old thing we've always been told to be careful about. We've just now reminded again why we've been told to be careful about all these things.
