I just came across some worrying information that I wanted to bring up here to talk about and spread awareness. Looks like some researchers discovered a new security flaw that could impact crypto hardware wallets that use the ESP32 chip, which is super popular and frequently found in less expensive hardware wallets.
Are All Bitcoin Hardware Wallets in Danger? Critical Vulnerability DiscoveredThe way I understand it (please correct me if you know more details!), the vulnerability comes from how the ESP32 was designed or how its commonly set up in wallets. The specifics are still fuzzy, but I read that some hackers showed they could actually drain a hardware wallet by taking advantage of this bug. Anybody know which hardware wallets use ESP32 and could be at risk here?
