What can happen if I don't verify receive addresses using my Trezor?

Revealing the receive address without verifying it on your Trezor device can pose significant risks to your security, including:

Phishing Attacks - a common tactic used by hackers to steal user credentials and other sensitive information. By revealing your receive address without verifying it on your Trezor device, you could be exposing yourself to phishing attacks. Hackers can create fake websites or apps that look like the real thing, but are designed to trick you into revealing your private keys or other sensitive information.

Address Poisoning - Also known as address spoofing is an attack vector that capitalizes on user carelessness and haste. When the user carelessly copies the address from a previous transaction, they may accidentally send their assets to the fraudulent address instead. It's important to carefully confirm the address before making a transfer to ensure that assets are not accidentally sent to the wrong account.

Verification is essential to ensuring the security of your cryptocurrency transactions. By verifying your receive address on your Trezor device, you can be sure that the address is correct and that your funds are sent to the intended recipient.

Verification also protects you from phishing attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other security threats.

To verify your receive address on your Trezor device, simply connect your device to the Trezor Desktop Suite and follow the instructions. By taking this simple step, you can ensure the security of your cryptocurrency transactions and protect yourself from potential risks.
