2026 Becomes the Roughest Year Yet for Hardware Wallet Security

  • —Six hardware wallet brands disclosed security issues in 2026, with confirmed thefts in only two cases
  • —Coldcard losses from weak key generation exceeded $115 million, per Galaxy Research
  • —Ledger tampering losses are estimated at nearly $90 million; one buyer lost 80 BTC
  • —Data leaks exposed 13,689 Trezor customers and roughly 40,000 SafePal home addresses
Why it matters: The risk is shifting from chip exploits to tampered devices in the supply chain, pushing buyers to vet resellers and move funds to fresh recovery phrases.
