This is a serious attack.
Apparently, Therre is a vector attack where the address in the Wallet UI is the user's one, and the one on the HW wallet is the attacker one. So use extreme caution.

Sparrow and Electrum wallets should be safe.
MetaMask as well said they are safe.




Not sure: the surface of attack seems enormous to me.


Ledger as well claims they are safe:




I don't trust them: of course, they sign the transaction the HW receives:

ALWAYS CHECK THE ADDRESS IN THE HW DISPLAY.
DON'T BE COMPLACENT WITH SECURITY.
