What are the chances that one of the major hardware wallet manufacturers has a backdoor just like this?
Multi-signature schemes can protect against this, but it still concerns me.
Yep, that's why it's best to multi-sig with multiple manufacturers. A quorum would need to be compromised and collude to rob you.
backdoor just like this
This backdoor is really naive. If there's a backdoor in a major hardware hardware wallet, it's likely some kind of deterministic entropy.
I think walletgenerator.net was bought out and then everyone was stolen from.
I havent heard any bad news about some of the others.
I havent heard anyone stealing from the bitaddress.org site yet.
I usually use this to give bitcoin away to friends and family.
I've used these sites in the past too. It doesn't change the fact that they are especially vulnerable to these kinds of backdoors.
You could be right.
Im just used to the old tech.
So far it hasnt failed me yet.
In general, you shouldn't be using paper wallets made using a website like this. They frequently have "backdoors" like this for lack of a better term.
