Hello BitcoinTalk,
I have been in the Bitcoin space since early 2017 but have just recently dove back in. I wanted to up my security so I ended up researching for a suitable hardware wallet and found a plethora of choice.
Some are promoted heavily on YouTube. (Ledger, Trezor)
Some are promoted on forums. (Bitbox02, KeepKey, Coldcard)
I've seen some videos analyzing the differences between the wallets and the levels of security they provide. One interesting feature is Coldcard's ability to sign transactions without being plugged into a computer.
Has there ever been a case where a user's bitcoin had been stolen by way of simply connecting the hardware wallet to the computer?
I ask because I own both Ledger and Trezor products and I am wondering if I should upgrade for security purposes. Are Ledger and Trezor products inferior because they require to be plugged into the USB? When does security become paranoia?
Thanks,
HelloUniverse
update or updating only depends if its really necessary, for example, there is a bug on a firmware that is needed to be fix or update that is critical, but like others say don't update if it's just minor or not that important, as long as you have the private key it's not possible I think.
