To make a transaction *out* of a wallet, you need to interact with the private key in *some* fashion to sign the transaction. This is the only time the private key will be touched. If there is some vulnerability with the wallet, it’s possible for an exploit. This is the only thing I can imagine the speaker is referring to when discussing possible private key exposure.

In practice, the private key is *never* exposed to the outside world when signing a transaction. If any of the major software wallets or hardware wallets ever exposed the naked private keys, you’d see it explode over all social media channels as billions in funds would be lost overnight.

Your ledger wallet is not compromised when sending funds. There are millions of ledger users and hundreds of millions of output transactions that have happens on Ledger devices over the last decade, and no one is losing their funds or exposing their keys because they send funds to an exchange via a Ledger device.
