Unprotected? Do you publicly display your 24 words? 24 words etched on steel is extremely secure.
Some small amount like 100 bucks could potentially save your stack. Standard practice. Also could serve as a decoy wallet, in case of $5 wrench attack. Although I’d put a bit more, to make it believable.
Otherwise somebody theoretically could already have your seed, and has been working on brute forcing your passphrase.
