@castaway Hi, Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I didn't know it was broken. Things keep changing. It should be fixed now. Be sure to do a ctl-shift-R or cmd-shift-R to refresh the screen and bypass the old cache entries.

8 TREZOR
Critical Security Alert:
STM32 Entropy Bug Identified
Urgent update regarding hardware microcontroller vulnerability
Dear customer,
We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, our engineering
team has identified a critical hardware-level vulnerability in the STM32
microcontrollers used in a range of Trezor devices.
Currently we believe the majority of defective devices were initialized
prior to 2023, however some newer devices also may be vulnerable. The
bug is a hardware factory defect present in an estimated 1 in 4 devices.
The vulnerability results in:
o Insufficient randomness in recovery phrase generation
o Exposure of seeds to brute-force cracking
o Seeds with as little as 40 bits of entropy
The incident affects a portion of our user base with full exposure
(critically low 40-bit entropy) and others with partial exposure. The
scope is limited due to Trezor's strict security and initialization
monitoring policies.
All potentially affected customers are being contacted separately by
email.
Our software systems remain secure, but affected devices could be
vulnerable to mathematical brute-force attacks until a new seed is
generated.
NEVER enter your recovery phrase on a website or share it with
anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels.
