Trezor Wallet Now Allows Longer Passphrases to Prevent Loss of Funds The cold wallet provider Trezor has now enabled users to set additional passphrases of up to 128 characters, up from the previous maximum of 50 characters. The additional passphrase is a second layer of security, independently set by the user and separate from the 24-word recovery phrase. With this extra layer, even if an attacker obtains the recovery phrase, they cannot access the wallet without the additional passphrase. Trezor implemented this change following attacks on Coldcard wallets in July, during which a device vulnerability allowed attackers to extract recovery phrases, resulting in approximately $100 million in losses. Users who had set strong additional passphrases retained their funds. Trezor also advises customers who purchased wallets from CryptoBilis—a previously authorized dealer—to transfer their funds to a new wallet, after a customer in Indonesia suspected their device had been tampered with to steal recovery phrases, beginning in March.

Strive has purchased an additional 124 Bitcoin for a total value of approximately $10 million, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to 43,124 BTC.

Marvell announced plans to acquire Lumentum in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $115 billion to expand its operations in the AI infrastructure sector. Lumentum specializes in optical technology, using light to transmit high-speed data. This technology is becoming increasingly critical as AI data centers require connections between tens of thousands of GPUs to process massive volumes of data. Following the announcement, Marvell’s shares fell about 10%, while Lumentum’s shares dropped nearly 16%. The declines may stem from concerns over share dilution and the transaction’s high valuation.

🇧🇹 According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the amount of Bitcoin held in Bhutan’s government wallets has decreased by more than 95%, dropping from approximately 13,000 BTC to just around 500 BTC. Bhutan once held a Bitcoin portfolio worth billions of USD, largely acquired through Bitcoin mining powered by the country’s hydropower resources. It’s easy to understand, folks... Bhutan is renowned for its Gross National Happiness index, and the government likely realized that holding Bitcoin doesn’t contribute much to happiness.

The founder of the OneKey crypto wallet has just warned about certain security vulnerabilities in older iPhone models, which may make using these devices as cold wallets for storing crypto less secure than many believe. Specifically, iPhone models from the 4S through the iPhone X are affected by the checkm8 vulnerability, while the iPhone XS, XR, iPhone 11, and iPhone SE (2nd generation) are flagged for the usbliter8 vulnerability. Notably, these vulnerabilities reside in the BootROM—the firmware permanently embedded in the chip during manufacturing—meaning Apple cannot fix them through iOS updates alone. However, this does not mean hackers can automatically steal your Bitcoin or private keys. Exploiting these vulnerabilities typically requires physical access to the device, and attackers would still need to bypass additional security layers, such as authentication required by a wallet app. The issue is that many people assume simply buying an old iPhone, restoring it to factory settings, and disabling internet connectivity makes it a secure cold wallet. In reality, it’s not that simple—some vulnerabilities are embedded directly in the hardware.
