A recent release made by the Kraken labs, assure that Trezor crypto wallets can be cracked in about 15 minutes of physical access by a hacker and extract the seed.

The interesting thing from it, the company behind the Trezor knew the vulnerability since the beginning and when the Kraken labs ended the research, they contacted the company to inform them about it, and apparently they didn't released to the press.

So how to protect from the hackers if you are user of Trezor?!

There are measures that difficult the hackers to crack it even with the physical access to the Trezor wallet.

  • To enhance security is necessary to enable the BIP 39 Passphrase
  • Always ensure that you have acess to your physical Trezor wallet.
