Trezor warns of suspected crypto-theft implant in hardware wallet

By Bill Toulas

AI Summary

Trezor issued a warning after a customer reported receiving a Trezor Safe 5 from reseller CryptoBilis in Southeast Asia containing a suspected hardware implant — an extra circuit board that exfiltrates the wallet's recovery phrase over a mobile network. Trezor has not yet physically examined the device but is advising all customers who purchased from CryptoBilis since March 2026 to immediately migrate funds to a new wallet with a new recovery phrase. This is a rare confirmed hardware supply chain attack against a widely-used cryptocurrency security device.
