Trezor security incidents

Every recorded Trezor security incident, newest first, with severity, fix status and sources.

Timeline

2026

  1. Laser fault injection bypasses firmware checks on Trezor Safe 7's TROPIC01 chip

    LowHardware attackCannot be patched

    A lab attacker holding a Trezor Safe 7 can run arbitrary firmware on its TROPIC01 secure element and, per Tropic Square and Ledger, compromise its MAC-and-Destroy protection. Trezor states this alone does not expose the PIN, funds or wallet backup and that no user action is needed.

2025

  1. Ledger Donjon bypasses Trezor Safe 3 supply-chain protections

    HighHardware attackMitigated

    An attacker with lab equipment could turn a Safe 3 into a device running malicious firmware that still passes authenticity checks, then sell it to a victim. Devices bought from official sources and the Safe 5 are not affected, according to Trezor.

2024

  1. Trezor support portal breach exposes 66,000 contacts

    MediumCustomer data breachNot applicable

    Names and email addresses of up to 66,000 support contacts were exposed, and some then received emails asking for their recovery seed. Trezor states no funds were compromised and the devices were unaffected.

2023

2022

  1. Trezor's Mailchimp newsletter used to send fake Trezor Suite

    HighVendor infrastructure compromiseMitigated

    Owners who installed the fake Trezor Suite and entered their recovery phrase gave attackers control of their funds. Subscribers' email addresses and, in some cases, names and IP addresses were exposed, according to Trezor, which invites further targeted phishing.

2020

  1. Kraken extracts Trezor One and Model T seeds by voltage glitching

    HighHardware attackCannot be patched

    Someone holding a Trezor One or Model T without a passphrase could recover its seed with specialised equipment in about 15 minutes. A device protected by a BIP39 passphrase is not exposed, according to both Kraken and Trezor.

2019

  1. Ledger Donjon extracts Trezor seeds in minutes with physical access

    HighHardware attackCannot be patched

    Anyone holding a Trezor One or Model T without a strong passphrase could, according to Ledger, extract its seed in minutes with inexpensive equipment. Trezor states a passphrase fully mitigates the attack and disputes that it was disclosed to the company.

  2. Trezor One 1.8.0 fixes glitching attacks that read the seed from memory

    HighHardware attackFixed

    An attacker with physical access to a Trezor One on firmware older than 1.8.0 could read the seed from memory unless a passphrase was set. Trezor fixed them in Trezor One firmware 1.8.0; the Model T was not directly affected and received the same protections in 2.1.0.

2017

  1. Trezor One firmware left seed in RAM, readable with physical access

    HighFirmware vulnerabilityFixed

    Someone with physical access to an opened Trezor One running firmware older than 1.5.2 could read its seed and PIN from RAM; passphrase-protected wallets were not exposed, according to the researcher's write-up. Trezor states the issue was fixed in 2017.

More entries do not mean a less secure brand: widely sold devices draw more published research and more targeted attacks, and some vendors disclose more than others.
