until this happened with Ledger and showed us all that no one should be trusted with your personal information.
Emphasis mine. Some of us have been saying this for years and not been listened to. The problem is people don't pay attention until it affects them directly, by which point it is too late. If you haven't already, now would be a good time to contact every exchange, every service, every provider, etc. where you have left personal details and request their deletion.

No cryptos where at risk.
Sure, you can argue that no cryptocurrency was directly placed at risk since there was no vulnerability in the hardware wallet itself, but the fact remains that many people have lost funds as a direct consequence of this leak. Yes, I accept that these people were at fault and careless for clicking on random links and entering their seed phrases in to random websites, but without this leak then those things would not have happened to many users. You could use the same logic to say that clipboard malware doesn't put coins at risk since it cannot steal your coins without the user also being at fault for not double checking their transaction.
