Hi Guys...
just a quick question...
if this guy had a 25th seed phrase enabled, would that have prevented the hack?

Thanks

doesnt matter if its a long string of characters or a bunch of words. if its has been typed into a compromised PC that a hacker can see files of.. the hacker can get it

even a latest hardware wallet. a hacker can simply set up a phished/emulating GUI display to show "error with device. to reset device please re enter your seed" or whatever their error pages look like to get people to type it in.

Thanks

And this is basically how 90% of it gets done, purely social engineering hacking and not brute forcing.
