1  Other / Beginners & Help / Do I need to upgrade my hardware wallet? on: December 20, 2020, 02:37:07 AM
Hello BitcoinTalk,

I have been in the Bitcoin space since early 2017 but have just recently dove back in. I wanted to up my security so I ended up researching for a suitable hardware wallet and found a plethora of choice.

Some are promoted heavily on YouTube. (Ledger, Trezor)
Some are promoted on forums. (Bitbox02, KeepKey, Coldcard)

I've seen some videos analyzing the differences between the wallets and the levels of security they provide. One interesting feature is Coldcard's ability to sign transactions without being plugged into a computer.

Has there ever been a case where a user's bitcoin had been stolen by way of simply connecting the hardware wallet to the computer?

I ask because I own both Ledger and Trezor products and I am wondering if I should upgrade for security purposes. Are Ledger and Trezor products inferior because they require to be plugged into the USB? When does security become paranoia?

Thanks,
HelloUniverse
