Trezor Hardware Wallet (Official)
Trust Trezor to safeguard your digital wealth. Our easy-to-use hardware wallets provide the highest level of security for your cryptocurrencies, giving you complete control over your funds.
Trezor Hardware Wallet employs various measures to protect against common threats such as phishing attacks, malware, and physical theft:
Secure Display and Confirmation: Trezor's small screen displays transaction details directly on the device, allowing users to verify addresses and amounts before confirming transactions. This prevents phishing attacks where malicious software attempts to modify transaction details displayed on the computer screen.
PIN Protection: Users set up a PIN code during the initial setup of the device. This PIN is required every time the device is used, preventing unauthorized access in case of physical theft.
Recovery Seed: Trezor generates a recovery seed (a list of words) during setup. This seed allows users to recover their funds on any compatible device in case their Trezor is lost or stolen. Users should keep this seed in a secure location, separate from the device itself.
Passphrase Protection: Users can optionally add an additional passphrase to their recovery seed, creating a hidden wallet. Even if someone gains access to the recovery seed, they would also need to know the passphrase to access the funds.
Physical Tamper Resistance: Trezor devices are designed to resist physical tampering. They are sealed to prevent unauthorized access to the device's internals, making it difficult for attackers to extract sensitive information.
Open Source Design: Trezor's firmware and software are open source, allowing the community to review the code for security vulnerabilities. This transparency helps to identify and address potential security threats quickly.
Firmware Updates: Trezor regularly releases firmware updates to patch any security vulnerabilities and enhance the device's security features. Users should regularly update their device's firmware to ensure they are protected against the latest threats.
Educational Resources: Trezor provides educational resources to help users recognize and avoid common threats such as phishing attacks and malware. This includes guidance on how to verify the authenticity of the Trezor device and its firmware.
By combining these security measures, Trezor Hardware Wallet aims to provide robust protection against a wide range of threats, ensuring that users' cryptocurrencies remain secure even in the face of sophisticated attacks.
