waxwing on Nostr: I don't think it speaks directly to an issue with malware and hardware wallets ...
I don't think it speaks directly to an issue with malware and hardware wallets generally; they had some kind of custom procedure for authorising transactions which got sent to a HW in the background, from what it says there (the medium link 404s so I'm just going on what's reported in cointelegraph). It sounds like the transactions did actually trigger warnings but in the software layer above the HW? Anyway details, basically this was not an attack on HW unless the article is completely wrong?
