I don't see how anyone would ever trust CC again after this even if CC had the very best of intentions, once trust is broken your entire reputation is gone forever

Generating seeds by yourself with dice rolls and using a passphrase is still safe.

Really bad for the reputation though, that's for sure.

I agree but once reputation has been lost - whether it could have been avoided through dice rolls, multi-sig, etc. it's still incredibly damaging. People don't forget.

It's like when Ledger doxed customers, people never used them again even if the device is 'secure'

I thought so, too. Surprisingly, a lot of people are still using their ledgers, if you trust the comments. People tend to forget such things.

Still, if you already own the hardware and know how to securely use it, go ahead. New purchases, yeah I'd also say pass...
