I have been warning people about hardware wallets for years. Bitcoin is the most personal store of value. Don't break it by using untrusted third party soft/hardware:

Worth mentioning, that the guy who found this exploit is 15 ys young.
I was amazed by this news, I thought that hardware wallets are top secure for saving our bitcoins, Indeed, I thought to buy one in the future, but after reading this PDF. I will keep my bitcoin in some web wallets as I don't have too much, in the same time, I will search for the secure wallet from now on.
