What would you be doing differently? There are many hardware wallet vendors out there, and I consider Ledger to be relatively sophisticated. This attack was extremely sophisticated as well.

I like the fancy security theatre display that the Trezor device has but turns out it initializes with a copy of the legitimate firmware then saboteurs simply overwrite the random seed generator with a predetermined seed after all the startup security checks. https://www.zetter-zeroday.com/trezor-wallets-also-compromis...
