Trezor says users' crypto is safe after Ledger researchers uncover chip flaw
Summary
Trezor disclosed a security flaw in the TROPIC01 chip used in its new Safe 7 hardware wallet, found during an independent audit by Ledger’s Donjon team. The issue can let a skilled attacker with physical access and specialized lab equipment bypass some chip protections and potentially expose additional chip-stored information. Trezor said the flaw does not put users’ crypto, private keys, or wallet backups at risk because Safe 7 uses multiple security layers, not a single chip. No real-world exploitation is known. Trezor and Tropic Square said they identified the issue through collaborative testing and emphasized that public disclosure improves security across the crypto ecosystem.
