Seed phrase leak

Definition: A seed phrase leak occurs when wallet recovery words become accessible to an unauthorized person, device, application, log, cloud service or other untrusted environment.

Because the phrase can recreate signing keys, exposure should be treated as compromise even if no theft has happened yet.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval's production flow keeps the seed/recovery phrase on the user's device, but users can still leak it through screenshots, malware, backups or social engineering.

Important: If a seed phrase is exposed, moving assets to a newly generated safe wallet is generally safer than continuing to reuse the same recovery material.
