This is where multisig wallets are great. Even if a hacker can get the key on your hardware (like this example) they won’t be able to move funds and would need to figure out a way to get access to another of your keys to do so.
Yikes. Be careful out there folks. Only buy your Bitcoin hardware wallets from the manufacturer.
The article mentions a supply chain attack, which if that is the case, even buying from the vendor wouldn't prevent that. However, we don't know where the victim purchased the device. Buying from a third party is just asking for trouble.
