#### Only Supports Older Hardware Wallets | ||
The lack of PSBT support means that modern hardware wallets with high quality airgaps such as [Cobo Vault](/known-issues/hardware/cobo) and [Specter-DIY](/known-issues/hardware/specter-diy) are not yet supported. | ||
**Properly verifying a receive address is only possible for advanced users** and also requires plugging your hardware wallet into your computer, adding another potential attack vector. |

#### Could Reintroduce Single Points of Failure | ||
While proper multisig allows you to have no single points of failure (see section title [Why Multisig](/why-multisig)), it still requires that you take some control of your financial sovereignty. | ||
Proper multisig allows you to have no single points of failure (see section title [Why Multisig](/why-multisig)), but it still requires you take some control of your financial sovereignty. | ||
Users who rely on third-party services may accidentally reintroduce a single points of failure. | ||
For example, if a `2-of-3` service holds 1 of your keys and mails you 1 (malicious) hardware wallet they are in a trusted position as they could control a majority of your keys! | ||

More realistically, were a multisig service provider to be hacked they might be able to exploit the trust users have for it. | ||

We've seen [similar attacks](https://cointelegraph.com/news/electrum-bitcoin-wallet-still-plagued-by-known-crypto-phishing-attack) on the popular Electrum Client for many years. | ||
This might might take the form of an invalid receive address (if using a stateless hardware wallet with limited defenses) or an invalid change address (if using a hardware wallet that can't detect it). | ||

#### Privacy Alert! | ||
#### Privacy Alert | ||
Any third party service that can participate/coordinate multisig transactions will have access to your balance and transaction history. | ||
They may be forced to share your records with multiple government agencies, and often be legally unable to disclose their compliance with requests. | ||
Of course most bitcoiners buy their coins on exchanges that follow KYC/AML procedures, so this may or may not be a factor for your use-case. |
