We can read the news on browser without need to download a app, i see this news and someone can find some private keys, but as i already use a hardware wallet for Ethereum i think i'm safe and no one can steal my coins.

When I read such news, I feel very unsafe about my etherium based tokens or even other cryptocurrencies.
How secure these wallets? Rather, what will happen if they shut down without informing?
All these questions come into my mind. It is never safe to store your cryptocurrencies on exchanges. And now a days same situation with wallets.
Only best possible way or solution I see at the moment to store cryptocurrencies is to use hardware wallet.
The challenge is that it's not cheap and also not support all the altcoins

Do not worry much, do not waste your nerves Smiley
Yes, the hardware wallet is very good. But it is needed for the case when you have significant amounts in cryptocurrency.
You can go the other way: make 5-10 wallets, and distribute your tokens to them evenly. The likelihood that hackers will pick up private keys to all wallets at once is extremely small.

Who are the researches , it will be good to include a link to get the real work evidence that they conducted this research. So many people just coming up with different stories . If there anything true about this , I believe The ETH developers will do justice on it.

I don't think this news is actually new.. The greatest threat to me still remain the numerous wallets launching on a daily basis with the mindset of cashing out with people's funds... I think one needs to be extra careful when soring ethereum at this point..
