Crypto Industry News:
As part of the latest, surprising reports, Trezor representatives admitted that private keys to funds stored in the company's hardware wallets may fall into (very) the wrong hands. For example, those belonging to cybercriminals.
This statement was made in a discussion on the official forum of the company. In response to the user's question, the company's representatives quite directly confirmed that it is possible to "extract" the holders' private keys from its wallets. This can happen when the firmware is compromised in any way by third parties.
Although the wallet software is open-source and can be independently controlled by the community and users, this does not make it resistant to attacks, but only slightly more resistant.
The conclusion is trivial indeed - where we are dealing with software, additionally connected to the network and susceptible to regular, external modifications and updates, it is obvious that it is also possible to hack it. Especially if the cases of security breaches of central company systems are by no means unheard of. And the companies themselves, somehow, often turn out to have some form of backdoor to their equipment, regardless of what their representatives would officially say.

Trading Outlook:
The Ethereum market has been seen making lower highs and lower low since the swing high was made in the middle of the August 2022 at the level of $2,029.

The key technical support is seen at $1,368, so as long as the market trades above this level, the outlook remains bullish.
