Kraken found KeepKey wallet vulnerability to extract seed phrases

Kraken Security Labs said they found a way to extract seed phrases from KeepKey hardware wallets.

Experts added that the vulnerability is inherent in KeepKey microcontrollers and to modernize the devices it is necessary to eliminate it.

Kraken representatives told KeepKey about the problem, but they replied that their task was to “protect user keys from remote attacks.” first of all, cybersecurity experts advise not to give anyone physical access to KeepKey wallets, and also try not to lose the device.
