A rising tide of concern is sweeping through the Model X community, with owners pointing to a series of unsettling prompts during their login process. Reports suggest that users are increasingly faced with demands to enter full security phrases, a marked deviation from their previous experiences, raising alarms over potential malware threats.
Many users are voicing their unease about a bizarre experience labeled as a "backup check"—users were initially advised to provide just the first two letters of each word but then found themselves needing to input entire phrases. "I’ve never been asked to write out my whole phrase before; it feels wrong," one notably anxious owner commented, underlining the exceptions to standard security practices.
Adding fuel to the fire, a user recounted, "I couldn’t believe it; I was in full 'WTF' mode!" This owner, who also experienced similar glitches, recounted a situation involving a big Trezor logo claiming their device was compromised and prompting them to chat with support or recover their information. The pop-up appeared to place itself over the web suite interface, blurring lines between genuine communication and malicious intent.
Interestingly, this wasn't an isolated incident; the increasing volume of these reports has sparked wider community reactions about the security of their devices.
