hacker who hacked and broke Trezor hardware wallet PIN code with wallet worth around $2 million!
It appears that in addition to the pin, he hacked the seed phrases as well
[blurred part].
- Always make multiple backups for your wallet
I can't stress this enough... I'd like to add that, it's worth creating those periodically
[I'm really great at hiding stuff at home or in other places but that also means, I tend to lose or rather forget where I hid/placed some of them]!
hence use the backup seed and move the coins away asap.
You have a point, but in this case, that information "
wasn't available".
As a Trezor user, I'm having mixed feelings in regards to the following parts:
But a core issue with the chip that allows fault injection still exists and can only be fixed by the chip maker — which the maker has declined to do — or by using a more secure chip. Rusnak says his team explored the latter, but more secure chips generally require vendors to sign an NDA, something his team opposes. Trezor uses open-source software for transparency, and when Rusnak’s team discovered a flaw in one secure chip they considered using, the chip maker invoked the NDA to prevent them from talking about it.
