Why avoid Ledger?

They leaked everyones data that they were storing for no reason way past the period in which it was needed. So people are now being spammed via email and SMS phishing attacks on an almost daily basis.

what's wrong with Ledger?

Ledger is closed source, which is not great. Also, we've submitted bug reports to them before explaining how malware on a laptop could extract coins from users, and the response we got was 'won't fix'...

Which is not great. The entire reason you use a hardware wallet is because you assume that less secure hardware has been compromised.

I don't know that I would go as far as saying 'don't use ledger' though, all the hardware wallets have pros and cons and we don't really have a champion 'this one is best' yet. Though I might point to https://foundationdevices.com/ as being on the right track.

If you are part of the leaked info[1], you are basically a walking target(mine was leaked, I constantly get phishing emails).

Trezor has had better service but this could as easily happen to them. To be really safe Coldcard is the best option.
