Anything that holds funds on an online server will eventually be hacked, which makes Lightning service providers particularly vulnerable, as we have seen. Only Bitcoin on the blockchain is secure—as long as it is not stored in a “hot” online wallet.

Stop FUD. Run your own node, on your own hardware, only open channels with peers you trust, use tor/vpn, private channels. Your node doesn't have to be online (mine rarely is), it's only online when i'm doing a payment.
