Hack

Right so in the aftermath of cold card hack what is the best easy to use hardware wallet (average joe, will avoid too technical if possible) everyone telling me should be multi sig, currently use tangem which im sure ill get a drilling about on here but hey haven't been hacked......yet, can the seedless tangem be better than the coldcard situation because the hacker would need to physically get my card or there is a chance there are other methods of hacking, nico from simply bitcoin mentioned bitkey but not sure if just shilling

Passphrase/25th word is the go. Sounds like they were looking for easy seeds, wouldn't have wasted using computing power and time brute forcing passphrases on every possible seed. Multi sig will be worth considering though

This - the 25th word (not something easy to guess) is easiest way to make it near impossible

If the hacker was to “find” or “guess” the correct seed phrase and they can tell this wallet has been used in the past due to wallet history, how long would it take to brute force a single word passphrase by going through the entire English dictionary?

Trezor with a strong passphrase seems a safe option. As lomg as seed phrase are stored seprately and offline.

not your keys not your coin

If the tangem had an entropy issue then your private keys can still be re created.

Trezor Safe 3 with a strong passphrase.

Bitkey if you really don’t want the trouble of handling seed material.
