Old, formerly used keys / seeds should always be saved, not disposed

[PrimeNumber7]

In theory, a security researcher might find vulnerabilities in that HW wallet that would allow someone to make a copy of the HW wallet so someone can at least brute force password attempts.

The article claims that there is a person who says he can do it in 6 months with a 10% commission, but I do not know if the owner accepted the proposal - I did not find the news that he managed to get his BTC back.

Following the publicity of Thomas’s plight, Alex Stamos, an internet security expert at Stanford Internet Observatory, said he could crack the password within six months if Thomas gave him a 10% cut of the digital fortune

Anyone claiming to be able to help him would need to demonstrate their ability to clone the data on the device. Once the data has been cloned once, it becomes trivial to clone it an arbitrary number of times, and it becomes possible to brute force the passphrase. Obviously, the person would need to have some idea as to what their passphrase is.

If someone is at least somewhat reputable, and can demonstrate the above, I think it would likely make sense for them to agree to a 10% proposial.

My topic "Old, formerly used keys / seeds should always be saved, not disposed" not a very long topic, but in my opinion, it's a very important advice.

Each coin serves a different purpose but they are all built on blockchain technology. The private part is called the private key. Make sure to protect it with a password and restore it regularly.

What we have to pay attention to when sending some BTC to anyone is always to make sure the recipient's address is correct and if necessary check 1 to 2 times so that we don't make a mistake because it could happen that if we are in a hurry when we paste the recipient's address we might read the last address which is not our target. Only the recipient can return the funds if he is kind enough because bitcoin transactions cannot be cancelled.

The wallet owner's job is not only to protect with a password but how can he or she fully protect from other people's access by storing the Bakcup seed in a safe place that cannot be accessed by anyone except you and those you trust.

What we have to pay attention to when sending some BTC to anyone is always to make sure the recipient's address is correct and if necessary check 1 to 2 times so that we don't make a mistake because it could happen that if we are in a hurry when we paste the recipient's address we might read the last address which is not our target. Only the recipient can return the funds if he is kind enough because bitcoin transactions cannot be cancelled.

Checking individual letters and numbers may be necessary when sending large amounts of BTC, or send a small amount at the beginning and when it is correct send it all.

Checking the wallet address is not just about the wallet prefix and suffix, but the whole wallet.
Because now many Clipboard malware will infect the Clipboard with different address addresses.
In some unique cases, there are addresses that have the same wallet in the prefix and suffix as experienced by this Member:

Well done, as I can see your local board members are already discussing it and are happy to get a reminder about a very important topic.
Because in my opinion, it's not much work to keep our old private keys / seeds etc. but we need to know how important it can be to still have access to it in case we need it again.
