Many people think that once they put coins into a hardware wallet, everything is taken care of. In reality, it only protects that the private key never leaves the device—it guards against scenarios like computer malware. What’s easy to overlook is that if you don’t verify what’s shown on the screen during a transaction, or if you voluntarily sign a malicious transaction, the hardware wallet can’t stop it. Before you transfer next time, clarify: whether the private key is only signed inside the device, and whether the information displayed on the screen has been checked. These two points are more critical than whether you buy a hardware wallet.
