Hackers are becoming more smart and fast, most especially this period, but that doesn't mean we should avoid the use of hardware wallets. They are still the best and the safest for now until a more top secure wallet is built beside, ledger claims that the attack was not centered on hardware wallet but on the Dapps who used ledgers connectkit. Tether have already frozen the account of the hacker while $254k was still found in the hacker wallet address, so it's possible it might be reversed back to ledger, ledger are looking forward to make a more secure upgrade, so let's keep our hopes high that such aren't gonna happen again.
