Trezor says Safe 7 chip flaw found by Ledger does not put funds at risk
Trezor and Tropic Square disclosed a TROPIC01 chip vulnerability found during a Ledger Donjon audit, saying the Safe 7 wallet and user funds remain secure.
Hardware wallet company Trezor and chipmaker Tropic Square have disclosed a vulnerability in one of the secure elements used in Trezor Safe 7 hardware wallet, saying the flaw does not put user funds at risk because the chip alone cannot expose a wallet.
The vulnerability was identified during an independent security audit conducted by Ledger Donjon, the security research team at rival hardware wallet maker Ledger, according to a Trezor statement.
Tropic Square provided the affected TROPIC01 Secure Element chip to the Ledger Donjon team for an independent audit. The companies said compromising TROPIC01 alone would not be enough to access a user’s wallet, PIN or funds.
