Trezor warns of suspected crypto-theft implant in hardware wallet
- On October 30, Trezor warned customers who purchased hardware wallets from former reseller CryptoBilis to move their funds after receiving a report of a suspected malicious implant inside a Trezor Safe 5 device.
- A customer in Indonesia reported finding an additional circuit board inside their wallet, which investigators believe contains a cellular module capable of transmitting sensitive information displayed on the screen.
- Trezor removed CryptoBilis from its authorized reseller network on October 9 and is working with the Security Alliance's emergency response service, SEAL 911, to investigate the reported attacks.
- Users who purchased devices from CryptoBilis since March 2026 should transfer cryptocurrency to a new wallet with a fresh recovery phrase, as importing existing phrases into new devices risks exposure.
- While no customers have reported losing funds from this specific incident, investigators are examining whether these attacks relate to earlier Ledger security issues that resulted in millions of dollars in losses.
