So don't take your trezor with you to areas where you have to hand it over? Sounds like a non issue for most.
This is not the point! I really hope these are all FUDs and that Trezor is still very safe. If you can't take a Trezor out with you in order to not be lost, half of the point of owning Trezor goes down the drain immediately. Owning Trezor gave me a piece of mind when it comes to stuff like this, and if this peace of mind is no longer here, you guess.
Not to mention that as we get more and more adoption, ways to steal your coins will evolve just like people are stealing regular wallets today in subways, etc..
These are very serious allegations that need to be sorted out and explained.
Does anyone know is Ledger Nano S in the same possible boat?
But again, why would you hand your hardware wallet to anyone? You wouldnt hand your fiat wallet to a person to pay a transaction; typically people are pretty wary of folks trying to hold their wallet, be it physical or electronic.
This seems a non issue. Good practice says you shouldnt be taking your hardware wallet out of the house anyway, treat it like a vault or a safe. You would not walk into Walmart with a safe to pay your bill (although this would be hilarious). Use an intermediary wallet, something like a phone or a platform wallet , to move value like this. keep your hardware wallets physically secure as well, protect your value LOL.
I will admit that if your house gets burgled, and the thief recognizes your hardware wallet for what it is, you may have a problem. But this is a really far shot imo.
