I carry my trezor with me all the time - never leaves me. My seedphrase is locked in a safebox. I never have both together. Yet somehow someone was able to withdraw all my btc and eth from my wallet. How in the world could this happen? I thought this trezor thing was secure. Has this happened to anyone lately? I discovered it several days after the fact, when I went to deposit funds.

Sorry to here thisā¦
Where did you purchase your trezor? Official Ressler or trezor.io
The only two options for moving funds are:
1 Someone had access to your recovery seed words
2 someone had to your device

It happened to me too. While my Trezor wallet was connected to my computer, I lost my life savings. No one had physical access to my seed or password. Trezor will not help. Gmoney recommended this walletā¦ worst advice Iāve ever had. Somehow hackers can access the wallet onlineā¦not secure!
Hi @timothee400,
as @rimaS mentioned in the previous post, there are only two likely scenarios of how your funds could have been stolen, since each transaction must be signed using the private keys of the respective address.
-
Someone used your physical Trezor device to confirm the transaction
-
Your private keys (derived from your recovery seed) were compromised and the attacker used them to sign the transaction. If your seed words are revealed, anyone can clone your wallet, including your private keys. Please, see our user manual to learn more about the recovery seed and recovery process:

There are no recorded cases of Trezor being hacked online.
This is not true. How do you make that claim? Iām at least the third.
My account was drained 5 transactions that I did not make. Same security for me. I live alone and my devices and passkeys are locked in different locations.
This is obviously not true!
Same situation here. My account got drained. the only person who know the passcode, seed recovery is me.
Iām not a Trezor representative, but if we are going to be serious here, we need to be honest:
You have never entered the seed phrase into any computer, ever?
You have never photographed it?
Nobody else has it?
You have no backup of it on paper or on some disk? ā this one is unlikely, very unlikely
You have never used that seed phrase in any other wallet, ever?
You have never connected to any DEX and signed a transaction you didnāt fully understand? ā this one is also unlikely, 99% of DEX traders have no idea what they are signing
This is not how things work. A seed phrase is not 1 part of 2, it is the entire wallet 1 part of 1. This makes me question your knowledge about crypto security practices.
