Let’s say you are using a standard wallet, no extra passphrase.
Someone breaks in and gets hold of your Trezor Safe 3 (without having the pin). Can they hack it and transfer your balance?
I want info on this to inform what to do before I leave on vacation with my Trezor Safe 3 left at home (most likely safer than bringing it with me, I guess?)
There is no known hack of the Trezor Safe 3 where someone could extract and decrypt the seed from the device and use it to transfer your crypto. No one has ever successfully extracted a PIN or wallet backup from the Trezor Safe 3, and the key used to encrypt your seed on your Trezor Safe 3’s Optiga secure element has never been provably extracted in an unauthorized manner. This level of security is sufficient to ensure that anyone gaining access to a Trezor Safe 3 is not able to gain access to crypto protected by the device.
We follow responsible disclosure practices regarding vulnerabilities and the secure element on your Trezor Safe 3 has been acquired by the vendor NDA-free, so should any of this information change we would of course provide customers with an update.
If you are still concerned about potential physical attacks using a separate passphrase wallet can add an additional layer of security, as passphrases are never stored on the Trezor device.
