I have both a Ledger and Trezor and would recommend the latter even before this vulnerability. Their Ether support is meh, but for BTC it just feels more solid and well thought out. That they are open source (hardware and software) and have been very responsive to attacks found also helps on the trust front.
Haven't played with the newer Model-T with a touchscreen, I'm talking about the original Trezor which I believe they have no plans to EOL.
- lawn 9y agoTrezor's design does have problems of its own: https://medium.com/@Zero404Cool/trezor-security-glitches-reveal-your-private-keys-761eeab03ff8 https://medium.com/@Zero404Cool/trezor-security-glitches-rev... Which to my untrained eye looks more severe.
- nicpottier 9y agoThat was addressed in a firmware update. All systems will have vulnerabilities, the important bit is how the companies react. Trezor has been pretty great IMO in that respect and that all their stuff is open gives me a bit more confidence that it has been well attacked and patched. https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-firmware-security-update-1-5-2-5ef1b6f13fed https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-firmware-security-update-1-5-2...
