Device compromise occurs when an unauthorized entity gains control or access to a digital device. This security breach allows attackers to access sensitive data, install malicious software, or manipulate device functions without the owner’s permission. In the context of digital assets, a compromised device can lead to the theft of private keys, cryptocurrency holdings, or personal identity information. Such incidents often result from phishing attacks, malware installations, or exploitation of software vulnerabilities.
