Hardware wallet security made headlines this week after Ledger's Donjon security research team disclosed a vulnerability in the TROPIC01 secure element used in the Trezor Safe 7.
Before you panic, Trezor says your funds remain safe. The attack requires physical access to the device, specialized laboratory equipment, and advanced expertise. This is not a remote hack.
In this video, I'll explain:
• What Ledger Donjon discovered
• Why Trezor says your funds are still safe
• The difference between transparency and security
• How Trezor and Ledger actually work together behind the scenes
• What this means for Trezor Safe 7 owners
This story is a great example of how responsible security disclosure helps improve the entire self-custody ecosystem.
