AI Summary
Trezor confirmed that three Safe 5 hardware wallets sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis contained malicious hardware implants — extra circuit boards that read wallet recovery phrases from the device screen and transmit them over cellular networks to attacker-controlled servers. Trezor examined one device in its lab, identified the others via investigation, and has released a firmware fix. Supply chain integrity verification for hardware wallets is now a critical security concern for crypto asset holders.
