Both Trezor's software and firmware are open-source. If they add malicious code, people would find out[1][2]

I've always been curious to know how often the source code is checked? When does a new release come out? Who is doing this? How many people check the source code? How much can they be trusted?

Sorry for so many questions. I wanted to know, at least superficially, how this is implemented.

Hello,

For example, Trezor captured by regulator and regulator wanna confiscate all people Bitcoin.
They will release a new firmware update to steal all people Bitcoin.
How to prevent that? Use 2 Trezor?

Regards
It seems to me that if this is implemented, it will be done differently. The regulator will create conditions under which people themselves will be forced to give their bitcoins or part of it in the form of taxes.

yup, I guess we should use 2 Trezor, 1 for testing if the new update is good when every new update is released.🤔
