 ‘Dark Skippy’ method can steal Bitcoin hardware wallet keys. Malicious firmware can embed secret data into a public Bitcoin transaction, which the attacker can then use to extract a person’s seed words.

 The Dark Skippy method can be executed even if the victim has only posted a couple of transactions to the blockchain. It can also be performed even if the user relies on a separate device to generate seed words 
. The attack involves embedding the master secret seed within transaction signatures, allowing the attacker to exfiltrate the entire wallet's seed words
