years back first generation hardware wallets were just USB devices that when plugged in, opened a webbrowser with the interface being a webpage(facepalm) . so soo soo many flaws back then

Oh damn, I had no idea that it used to be like that in the early days. Just a thought of typing my seed into some web browser app or whatever it was makes me very uncomfortable. I got my Ledger Nano S back in the late 2017 (after I lost almost everything I had) and wouldn't go back on any other type of cold storage.

although has this been the first time he lost large amounts of Bitcoin?

My guess is yes, because if he was hacked before, he would be way more careful than he was. Btw not saying that he was careless, but he would probably be extra careful it it has already happened in the past.
