How I Cracked a Hardware Crypto Wallet and Recovered USD 2 Million

In this video, YouTuber Joe Grand shares his story of how he used an outdated Trezor exploit to recover over USD 2 million worth of cryptocurrency for one of his clients. 

After the video has been published, Trezor clarified: 

"This is an outdated exploit that is not a concern for current users and that we fixed in 2017 right after a report that we received through our responsible disclosure program. This attack requires full physical access to the device, and there is no record of any funds being compromised."

The video premiered on January 24, 2022.
