BitBox Warns Bitcoiners After Discovering ‘Severe’ Vulnerability In Firmware 

Bitcoin Magazine BitBox Warns Bitcoiners After Discovering ‘Severe’ Vulnerability In Firmware  Bitcoin wallet manufacturer BitBox has told users it was able to fix “severe vulnerabilities” with its hardware wallet’s firmware, and reassured users that no funds were taken.

Yet it still urged users to upgrade carefully.  Writing in a blog post Tuesday, the Swiss company said that one of the vulnerabilities would have allowed an attacker to manipulate users into installing firmware that could lead a criminal to steal funds.  Users should update firmware through the official BitBoxApp, ideally by clicking the in-app update prompt rather than searching for it, BitBox said.  We just released the Dixence security update.During our internal audits, we were able to discover and fix multiple security issues in the BitBox firmware.

We recommend our users to update their BitBoxApp and device firmware through the BitBoxApp settings.…— BitBox (@BitBoxSwiss) August 17, 2026 “There are no reports of stolen user funds and there is no reason for users to panic,” the company said.

“We recommend all users to update their BitBox devices to the latest firmware version, which fixes all security issues described in this article.” It added that another “severe vulnerability” discovered was related to memory corruption.
