Oddbean new post about login | logout I trashed all my hardware wallets. Supply chains are f'd. Secure elements are mostly owned by BlackRock related owned firms Even if it's all ok,... We're in a war, can't afford to use weapons made in enemy factories and enemy suppliers, with software made by 40% sellouts.
Exactly prepare for dooms day... 😆
So what do you suggest? Create your own seed phrases?
I don't suggest. Just a reminder to route around problems. I predict one or more manufactured HW wallets to have compromised secure elements within 1 year from now. The fallout if that can be anything from bed entropie seeds to downright stealing funds or whatever.
Wow really? How and why are you thinking that?
Complex and long answer. In short: division of internet influence areas, combined with price anticipation triggered opportunity for supply chain stuff. Some companies rely on chip manufacturing that changed hands last tO years. Also, in general, too many brands in the market, and hardly anyone earns their keep. They would stuff a HW wallet in your hands for free if they could be so obvious... Watch
Thats kind of a bold statement to make, but yeah, I kinda understand… frightening tho!
