Hardware Wallets Are Not Immune to Attacks
Securely storing digital assets is a major concern for most cryptocurrency users. Wallets can be vulnerable to attack and while there are ways to protect yourself, not all users are as vigilant as others. For this reason, many people — including myself — have suggested using hardware wallets for storage because of their offline nature and robust security features. However, a recent post on Medium suggests that even these devices are not immune to attack. One of the most popular hardware wallets, Trezor, apparently was vulnerable. But how much do Trezor users need to worry?
