Thanks for making us ponder about this, i agree that hardware wallets are very scary. There must be something wrong with your calculations though, they are not that stupid

    Yeah the math is wrong I posted it in a comment:

    Luckily I did the math wrong on the 24 choose 12 (2.7M combinations).
    That is simply the chance of choosing the correct 12 words.
    You'd still have to find the correct order of them afterwards.
    I believe this would add a multiplier of 12P12 (12! factorial)

    So 24 choose 12 (2,704,156) times 12! (479,001,600) = around 1.3 Quadrillion (10^15) possibilities.
    Hopefully that's correct.
