I do reflash and verify on Sparrow every few months if there hasn't been a new firmware release.

I suspect that this type of attack will become more prevalent when after more adoption, a greater number of people will know about HWWs, signing devices and steel back ups. Right now, in my African country of 50M+, I guess less than a thousand have even heard or seen a photo of a SS. The number who even own one here will be less than 100.

Of those, the number of people with an ability to corrupt the firmware with an evil maid / dark skippy type attack is very very small. Never mind even knowing that I possess such a device.

Something to worry about more intently in the future.
