Old 2015 address vulnerable?

Someone recently showed me this article:
I'm sure you're aware of this. I am wondering if you can help me.
In april 2015 I created 10 wallets and split my bitcoin up over them. Generated them offline on an old freshly formatted linux machine. I'm happy with my method of storage and the coins have been safe ever since. I've never been worried...until now.
I really don't want to move the coins to my hardware wallet as I have other crypto stored on there and don't like all my eggs to be in one basket.
How unsafe is an offline generated bitaddress.org wallet from 2015? do I really have to move this btc?
I answered this in issue #291
2014 and newer wallets with BitAddress are fully secure and do not need to be moved.
2013 and older do need to be moved.
thank you so much for your quick and very much appreciated response.
are you still taking donations?
