Did you know that the private key can be sniffed out of the Trezor hardware wallet if someone has enough time and patients and oscilloscope?

what we learned

-there is no 100% protection against attacks
-Don't keep all your eggs in one basket, e.g. all your money in one wallet

  • keep your hardware firmware updated
    -use a pin number with hardware wallet
