When the service was first discussed publicly several months ago, some people said the product undermines Ledger's stated commitment to privacy and security.

Don't use their software, then there is nothing to worry about. The hardware itself is not bad.

It has closed source. How do you know it's not bad?

No it isn't closed 🤗 You can check all the details here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/11132311094813-Ledger-s-open-source-roadmap

Except the parts of the firmware on the device, due to an NDA with the manufacturer of the secured element chip.

How do you know there's zero backdoors in the device?

Maybe that's a good thing?

There are already many arguments and discussions about that part and to date, there is no known case where this has led to a problem. Easy✌️

So you don't know if there are any backdoors but you decided to trust the company.

Good luck with that 🤙💜

I was just adding some counterweight to a lurid headline.

What would be your recommendation for a hardware wallet?

It has the private key physical. That can get stolen, lost, copied. To dangerous for some circumstances. But it's a very nice option!
