Ledger Receive Address Attack

If you’re using the Ethereum App – Treat the ledger hardware wallet the same as any other software-
based wallet, and use it only on a Live CD operating system that is guaranteed to be malware-free. At
least until this issue receives some kind of fix.

That sounds really bad. So much for security. What's the point of a hardware wallet if it is just as vulnerable as a software wallet?
