So you're saying there's never been an instance of private keys getting leaked or extracted ever? And there's probably easier ways to break this than trying to extract the keys, especially if they're in some kind of secure chip. People can get the hardware, they can do whatever they want to it. Of course it's most likely going to be a lot harder than copying someone's SSH keys off a hard drive.
