The most worrisome thing is that people's physical addresses and phone numbers has been exposed on darkweb hence several people could be in physical danger. Imagine people breaking into your house and threaten the hell out of you to give your recovery phrase or better yet beat it out of you or even harm your family.
This is where adding a temporary PIN code to your Ledger helps a lot. Transfer all your funds except $50-100 to a temporary PIN and if such an attack ever happens, you could get away with a loss of only $50-100 while the remaining majority of your funds will be safe.
