ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the latest report shows that security researchers have discovered a new attack mechanism called "Dark Skippy," which hackers can use to extract private keys from Bitcoin hardware wallets that only have two-signature transactions. This vulnerability could affect all hardware wallet models, but it only activates when victims are tricked into downloading malicious firmware.The previous version of "Dark Skippy" required dozens of transactions to be effective, while the new version of "Dark Skippy" can execute with just a few transactions. Additionally, the attack can be carried out even if users rely on separate devices to generate their mnemonic phrases.The disclosure report was published by Lloyd Fournier, Nick Farrow, and Robin Linus. Fournier and Farrow are co-founders of the hardware wallet manufacturer Frostsnap, while Linus is a co-developer of the Bitcoin protocols ZeroSync and BitVM.
